Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 4 and 17

The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 4 and 17 is the largest positive integer that divides both 4 and 17. Mathematically, the problem we are solving is:

GCD(4,17)

To solve the problem, we will list all the positive integers (divisors) that can be divided into 4 and 17. We will then compare the lists of divisors to find the greatest divisor they have in common.

Divisors of 4:
1, 2, and 4.

Divisors of 17:
1 and 17.

When we compare the lists of divisors above, we see that the largest number they have in common is 1. Thus, the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 4 and 17 is:

GCD(4,17) = 1
