...KULE. — Divide tho greater by the loss, then the preceding divisor by the remainder, and so on, nntil there is no remainder. The last divisor will be the greatest common measure required. EXAMPLE. — To find tho greatest common measure of 532 and 1274. Arrange the process...

...common measure, divide the greater number by the lesser, and the last divisor by the remainder till there is no remainder; the last divisor will be the greatest common measure. EXAMPLE I. Reduce the fraction 4f£f *° 'ts lowest terms. 9767-7-4418=2, remainder 931. 4418-7-931=4,...

...letter : divide the greater by the less, and the preceding divisor by the last remainder, and so on till there is no remainder, the last divisor will be the greatest common measure. Ex. Find the greatest common measure of 2« + 1 + -r' and 2*4 ¿"+2*+ 1. We arrange the quantities...
