Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 5 and 45

The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 5 and 45 is the largest positive integer that divides both 5 and 45. Mathematically, the problem we are solving is:

GCD(5,45)

To solve the problem, we will list all the positive integers (divisors) that can be divided into 5 and 45. We will then compare the lists of divisors to find the greatest divisor they have in common.

Divisors of 5:
1 and 5.

Divisors of 45:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45.

When we compare the lists of divisors above, we see that the largest number they have in common is 5. Thus, the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 5 and 45 is:

GCD(5,45) = 5
