<p>Find the GCF of 162 and 192 using the<a>division</a>method or Euclidean Algorithm Method. Follow these steps:</p>
33
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>First, divide the larger number by the smaller number Here, divide 192 by 162 192 ÷ 162 = 1 (<a>quotient</a>), The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 192 - (162×1) = 30</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>First, divide the larger number by the smaller number Here, divide 192 by 162 192 ÷ 162 = 1 (<a>quotient</a>), The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 192 - (162×1) = 30</p>
34
<p>The remainder is 30, not zero, so continue the process</p>
33
<p>The remainder is 30, not zero, so continue the process</p>
35
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (162) by the previous remainder (30) Divide 162 by 30 162 ÷ 30 = 5 (quotient), remainder = 162 - (30×5) = 12</p>
34
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (162) by the previous remainder (30) Divide 162 by 30 162 ÷ 30 = 5 (quotient), remainder = 162 - (30×5) = 12</p>
36
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (30) by the previous remainder (12) 30 ÷ 12 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 30 - (12×2) = 6</p>
35
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (30) by the previous remainder (12) 30 ÷ 12 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 30 - (12×2) = 6</p>
37
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (12) by the previous remainder (6) 12 ÷ 6 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 12 - (6×2) = 0</p>
36
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (12) by the previous remainder (6) 12 ÷ 6 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 12 - (6×2) = 0</p>
38
<p>The remainder is zero, the divisor will become the GCF. The GCF of 162 and 192 is 6.</p>
