Step 1 :
Divide $ 1870 $ by $ 264 $ and get the remainder

$$ 1870 : 264 = 7 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 22 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is positive ($ 22 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 2 :
Divide $ 264 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 22 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 264 : \color{blue}{ \boxed { 22 }} = 12 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 0 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor $ \color{blue}{ \boxed { 22 }} $.

This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.

The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
