Say we have two numbers 12 and 18<br \/>\n<br \/>\n 2 | 12  18<br \/>\n 2 |  6   9<br \/>\n 3 |  3   9<br \/>\n 3 |  1   3<br \/>\n   |  1   1<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAs you see, we started by dividing 12 and 18 both by 2 and the resuls was written under each of 12 and 18. But because 2 is a factor of both 12 and 18, we should circle this 2.<br \/>\nnow we have 6 and 9. Since at least one of the two numbers is divisable by 2, we will divide again by 2 but here we will only divide 6 and rewrite 9 again. We won't circle the factor 2.<br \/>\nNow, 3 and 9 are both divisable by 3 (circled) to get 1 and 3. Divide again by 3 (1 is not divisable so write it down as it is)<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRememeber, you only circled the first 2 and the first 3 because they are factors of bothe numbers at the same time.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGCF=2*3=6<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLCD= 2*2*3*3=36<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPlease post you commets and your recommendations.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
