The GCD of given numbers is 8.
Step 1 : Place the numbers inside division bar:.
32 | 936 |
Step 2 : Divide numbers by 2.
2 | 32 | 936 |
16 | 468 |
Step 3 : Divide numbers by 2.
2 | 32 | 936 |
2 | 16 | 468 |
8 | 234 |
Step 4 : Divide numbers by 2.
2 | 32 | 936 |
2 | 16 | 468 |
2 | 8 | 234 |
4 | 117 |
Step 5 : Number 4 and 117, cannot be divided any more. The GCD is:
$$ GCD = 2\cdot2\cdot2 = 8 $$This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
