The Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 32 is as follows:
16
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 32, we first list all the divisors of 16
and all the divisors of 32. 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 16 and 32.
Here is the list of 16 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
And here is the list of 32 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
When we compare the two lists, we see that the greatest number they have in common is 16.
Therefore, once again, the answer to the question "What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 32?" is:
16
Note, the divisors of 16 are all the numbers you can divide into 16 with no remainder, and the divisors of 32 are
all the numbers you can divide into 32 with no remainder.
