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