The Greatest Common Divisor of 78 and 86 is as follows:
2
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 78 and 86, we first list all the divisors of 78
and all the divisors of 86. 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 78 and 86.
Here is the list of 78 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78
And here is the list of 86 divisors: 1, 2, 43, 86
When we compare the two lists, we see that the greatest number they have in common is 2.
