Hi and thanks for the question! Euclid's algorithm states: For gcd(a,b) If b is divisible by a then gcd(a, b) = b. If a = bt + r, for integers t and r, then gcd(a, b) = gcd(b, r). So for gcd(1001,1331) 1331 = 1001*1 + 330 so gcd(1001,1331)=gcd(1001,330) 1001 = 330*3 + 11 so gcd(1001,330)=gcd(330,11) 330 = 11*30 so gcd(330,11)=11 Therefore, gcd(1001,1331)=11 Hope that helps. Please ask for clarification if needed. -blinkwilliams-ga |
