Successive Division
Successive division is a method useful for fmding the GCF of two large numbers
using long division repeatedly until a remainder of zero is reached.
Example: Find the GCF of 118 and 250.
Step 1: Using long division, divide the lesser number into the greater number.
2
118)250
- 236
Step 2: Divide the remainderfromStep 1 into the divisorfromStep 1. If
necessary, repeat this step until a remainder of zero is reached. The
final divisor is the GCF of the two numbers
