Step 1
To find the GCF of two numbers you can proceed as follows:
Divide the larger number by the smaller to give a quotient and remainder.
If the remainder is zero then the smaller number is the GCF.
Otherwise repeat with the smaller number and the remainder.
In our example:
245 175 = 1 with remainder 70
175 70 = 2 with remainder 35
70 35 = 2 with remainder 0
So the GCF is 35
