Step 1 :
Divide $ 2432 $ by $ 266 $ and get the remainder

$$ 2432 : 266 = 9 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 38 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is positive ($ 38 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 2 :
Divide $ 266 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 38 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 266 : \color{blue}{ \boxed { 38 }} = 7 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 0 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor $ \color{blue}{ \boxed { 38 }} $.

This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.

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