The Greatest Common Divisor of 54 and 36 is as follows:
18
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 54 and 36, we first list all the divisors of 54
and all the divisors of 36. Then, we compare the two lists of divisors and pick the largest (greatest)
number that is on both lists, which will be the Greatest Common Divisor of 54 and 36.
Here is the list of 54 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
And here is the list of 36 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
When we compare the two lists, we see that the greatest number they have in common is 18.
Therefore, once again, the answer to the question "What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 54 and 36?" is:
18
Note, the divisors of 54 are all the numbers you can divide into 54 with no remainder, and the divisors of 36 are
all the numbers you can divide into 36 with no remainder.
