Step 1 :
Divide $ 424 $ by $ 82 $ and get the remainder

$$ 424 : 82 = 5 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 14 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is positive ($ 14 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 2 :
Divide $ 82 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 14 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 82 : 14 = 5 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 12 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is still positive ($ 12 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 3 :
Divide $ 14 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 12 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 14 : 12 = 1 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 2 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is still positive ($ 2 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 4 :
Divide $ 12 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 2 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 12 : \color{blue}{ \boxed { 2 }} = 6 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 0 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor $ \color{blue}{ \boxed { 2 }} $.

This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.

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