Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Divide the larger number by the smaller one:
361 ÷ 38 = 9 + 19;
Step 2. Divide the smaller number by the above operation's remainder:
38 ÷ 19 = 2 + 0;
At this step, the remainder is zero, so we stop:
19 is the number we were looking for, the last remainder that is not zero.
This is the greatest common factor (divisor).
Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor):
gcf, hcf, gcd (38; 361) = 19
gcf, hcf, gcd (38; 361) = 19
