The Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 38 is as follows:
2
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 38, we first list all the divisors of 16
and all the divisors of 38. 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 38.
Here is the list of 16 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
And here is the list of 38 divisors: 1, 2, 19, 38
When we compare the two lists, we see that the greatest number they have in common is 2.
Therefore, once again, the answer to the question "What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 38?" is:
2
Note, the divisors of 16 are all the numbers you can divide into 16 with no remainder, and the divisors of 38 are
all the numbers you can divide into 38 with no remainder.
