The Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 50 is as follows:
2
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 16 and 50, we first list all the divisors of 16
and all the divisors of 50. 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 50.
Here is the list of 16 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
And here is the list of 50 divisors: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
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 50?" is:
2
Note, the divisors of 16 are all the numbers you can divide into 16 with no remainder, and the divisors of 50 are
all the numbers you can divide into 50 with no remainder.
