Step 1 : Find prime factorization of each number.

$$\begin{aligned}5010 =& 2\cdot3\cdot5\cdot167\\[8pt]8016 =& 2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot3\cdot167\\[8pt]\end{aligned}$$

(view steps on how to factor 5010 and 8016. )

Step 2 : Put a box around factors that are common for all numbers:

$$\begin{aligned}5010 =& \color{blue}{\boxed{2}}\cdot\color{red}{\boxed{3}}\cdot5\cdot\color{Fuchsia}{\boxed{167}}\\[8pt]8016 =& \color{blue}{\boxed{2}}\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot\color{red}{\boxed{3}}\cdot\color{Fuchsia}{\boxed{167}}\\[8pt]\end{aligned}$$

Step 3 : Multiply the boxed numbers together:

$$ GCD = 2\cdot3\cdot167 = 1002 $$

This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.

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