Math Problem Statement
What is the greatest common divisor (gcd) of 133 and 147?
Solution
The image shows the following calculation:
This is asking for the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the numbers 133 and 147. Let me calculate it for you.
I'll use the Euclidean algorithm to find the gcd of 133 and 147.
Starting with:
- Divide 147 by 133 to get the remainder:
- Now, divide 133 by 14:
- Divide 14 by 7:
Since the remainder is now 0, the gcd is the last non-zero remainder, which is 7.
Thus,
