Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 48

The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 48 is the largest positive integer that divides both 6 and 48. Mathematically, the problem we are solving is:

GCD(6,48)

To solve the problem, we will list all the positive integers (divisors) that can be divided into 6 and 48. 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 48:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.

When we compare the lists of divisors above, we see that the largest number they have in common is 6. Thus, the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 6 and 48 is:

GCD(6,48) = 6
