To find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of 1,469 and 479 using the Euclidean algorithm, let's follow the steps provided. We want to apply the division algorithm repeatedly until we reach a remainder of 0.

Step 1:

We begin by dividing 1,469 by 479.

$1,469 = 479 \cdot q_1 + r_1$

Perform the division:

$1,469 \div 479 = 3 \text{ (quotient)}$

Now calculate the remainder $r_1$:

$1,469 - 479 \cdot 3 = 1,469 - 1,437 = 32$

Thus, we have:

$1,469 = 479 \cdot 3 + 32$

So, $q_1 = 3$ and $r_1 = 32$.

Step 2:

Next, we divide 479 by 32.

$479 = 32 \cdot q_2 + r_2$

Perform the division:

$479 \div 32 = 14 \text{ (quotient)}$

Now calculate the remainder $r_2$:

$479 - 32 \cdot 14 = 479 - 448 = 31$

Thus, we have:

$479 = 32 \cdot 14 + 31$

So, $q_2 = 14$ and $r_2 = 31$.

Step 3:

Now, divide 32 by 31.

$32 = 31 \cdot q_3 + r_3$

Perform the division:

$32 \div 31 = 1 \text{ (quotient)}$

Now calculate the remainder $r_3$:

$32 - 31 \cdot 1 = 32 - 31 = 1$

Thus, we have:

$32 = 31 \cdot 1 + 1$

So, $q_3 = 1$ and $r_3 = 1$.

Step 4:

Now, divide 31 by 1.

$31 = 1 \cdot q_4 + r_4$

Perform the division:

$31 \div 1 = 31 \text{ (quotient)}$

Now calculate the remainder $r_4$:

$31 - 1 \cdot 31 = 31 - 31 = 0$

Thus, we have:

$31 = 1 \cdot 31 + 0$

So, $q_4 = 31$ and $r_4 = 0$.

Conclusion:

Since the remainder is now 0, the gcd is the last non-zero remainder, which is 1.

Therefore, the gcd(1,469, 479) = 1.
