The GCD of given numbers is 10.
Step 1 :
Divide $ 15210 $ by $ 10210 $ and get the remainder
The remainder is positive ($ 5000 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 2 :
Divide $ 10210 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 5000 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 210 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 3 :
Divide $ 5000 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 210 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 170 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 4 :
Divide $ 210 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 170 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 40 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 5 :
Divide $ 170 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 40 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 10 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 6 :
Divide $ 40 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 10 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor $ \color{blue}{ \boxed { 10 }} $.
We can summarize an algorithm into a following table.
| 15210 | : | 10210 | = | 1 | remainder ( 5000 ) | ||||||||||
| 10210 | : | 5000 | = | 2 | remainder ( 210 ) | ||||||||||
| 5000 | : | 210 | = | 23 | remainder ( 170 ) | ||||||||||
| 210 | : | 170 | = | 1 | remainder ( 40 ) | ||||||||||
| 170 | : | 40 | = | 4 | remainder ( 10 ) | ||||||||||
| 40 | : | 10 | = | 4 | remainder ( 0 ) | ||||||||||
| GCD = 10 | |||||||||||||||
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
