How to use the Euclidean Algorithm to find the GCF?

The Euclidean Algorithm is an efficient method for finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two whole numbers.
Here’s how it works:

1. Divide the larger of the two numbers by the smaller one.
2. If there is a remainder, divide it into the divisor.
3. Continue dividing the last divisor by the last remainder until the remainder is zero.
4. The final divisor is the GCF of the original pair of numbers.

In application, the algorithm can be used to find the side length of the largest square that can be used to completely fill a rectangle without overlap or gaps.
