GCF of (225,270) by Euclidean algorithm Method

Sort the numbers into ascending order: 225,270

Take the smallest number (225) as your divisor

Work out the modulo operation of the remaining number(s) and the divisor:

270 mod 225 = 45

Gather the divisor and all of the remainders and sort them in ascending order. Remove any duplicates. Our set is then:

45,225

Take the smallest number (45) as your divisor

Work out the modulo operation of the remaining number(s) and the divisor:

225 mod 45 = 0

Gather the divisor and all of the remainders and sort them in ascending order. Remove any duplicates. Our set is then:

45

As there is only one number left (the divisor), it's the Greatest Common Factor

Therefore the Greatest Common Factor of 225,270 is: 45
