The Greatest Common Divisor of 56 and 98 is as follows:
14
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 56 and 98, we first list all the divisors of 56
and all the divisors of 98. 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 56 and 98.
Here is the list of 56 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
And here is the list of 98 divisors: 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98
When we compare the two lists, we see that the greatest number they have in common is 14.
Therefore, once again, the answer to the question "What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 56 and 98?" is:
14
Note, the divisors of 56 are all the numbers you can divide into 56 with no remainder, and the divisors of 98 are
all the numbers you can divide into 98 with no remainder.
