Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 3

The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 3 is the largest positive integer that divides both 6 and 3. Mathematically, the problem we are solving is:

GCD(6,3)

To solve the problem, we will list all the positive integers (divisors) that can be divided into 6 and 3. We will then compare the lists of divisors to find the greatest divisor they have in common.

Divisors of 6:
1, 2, 3, and 6.

Divisors of 3:
1 and 3.

When we compare the lists of divisors above, we see that the largest number they have in common is 3. Thus, the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 3 is:

GCD(6,3) = 3
