The Greatest Common Divisor of 24 and 36 is as follows:
12
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 24 and 36, we first list all the divisors of 24
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 24 and 36.
Here is the list of 24 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
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 12.
Therefore, once again, the answer to the question "What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 24 and 36?" is:
12
Note, the divisors of 24 are all the numbers you can divide into 24 with no remainder, and the divisors of 36 are
all the numbers you can divide into 36 with no remainder.
