The Greatest Common Divisor of 87 and 16 is as follows:
1
To find the Greatest Common Divisor of 87 and 16, we first list all the divisors of 87
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 87 and 16.
Here is the list of 87 divisors: 1, 3, 29, 87
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 1.
