Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 40

The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 40 is the largest positive integer that divides both 6 and 40. Mathematically, the problem we are solving is:

GCD(6,40)

To solve the problem, we will list all the positive integers (divisors) that can be divided into 6 and 40. 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 40:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.

When we compare the lists of divisors above, we see that the largest number they have in common is 2. Thus, the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 40 is:

GCD(6,40) = 2
