Step 1 :
Divide $ 518 $ by $ 194 $ and get the remainder

$$ 518 : 194 = 2 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 130 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is positive ($ 130 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 2 :
Divide $ 194 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 130 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 194 : 130 = 1 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 64 } \text{ ) } $$

The remainder is still positive ($ 64 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.

Step 3 :
Divide $ 130 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 64 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 130 : 64 = 2 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 2 } \text{ ) } $$

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

Step 4 :
Divide $ 64 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 2 } $ and get the remainder

$$ 64 : \color{blue}{ \boxed { 2 }} = 32 \text{ ( remainder is } \color{blue}{ 0 } \text{ ) } $$

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.
