The GCD of given numbers is 10.
Step 1 :
Divide $ 16270 $ by $ 11270 $ and get the remainder
The remainder is positive ($ 5000 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 2 :
Divide $ 11270 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 5000 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 1270 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 3 :
Divide $ 5000 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 1270 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 1190 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 4 :
Divide $ 1270 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 1190 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 80 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 5 :
Divide $ 1190 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 80 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 70 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 6 :
Divide $ 80 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 70 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is still positive ($ 10 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 7 :
Divide $ 70 $ 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.
| 16270 | : | 11270 | = | 1 | remainder ( 5000 ) | ||||||||||||
| 11270 | : | 5000 | = | 2 | remainder ( 1270 ) | ||||||||||||
| 5000 | : | 1270 | = | 3 | remainder ( 1190 ) | ||||||||||||
| 1270 | : | 1190 | = | 1 | remainder ( 80 ) | ||||||||||||
| 1190 | : | 80 | = | 14 | remainder ( 70 ) | ||||||||||||
| 80 | : | 70 | = | 1 | remainder ( 10 ) | ||||||||||||
| 70 | : | 10 | = | 7 | remainder ( 0 ) | ||||||||||||
| GCD = 10 | |||||||||||||||||
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
