Euclid poses the problem: " Given two numbers not prime to one another, to find their greatest common measure ".

Euclid stipulated this so that he could construct a reductio ad absurdum proof that the two numbers ' common measure is in fact the greatest.

It considers the connection between perfect numbers and Mersenne primes, the infinitude of prime numbers, Euclid's lemma on factorization ( which leads to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic on uniqueness of prime factorizations ), and the Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor of two numbers.

In 1997 Enya released her greatest hits collection, Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya, again a top five smash in the UK and Germany, which featured two new songs: " Paint the Sky with Stars " and " Only If ..."; " Only If ..." later became a single.

This generalized Euclidean algorithm can be put to many of the same uses as Euclid's original algorithm in the ring of integers: in any Euclidean domain, one can apply the Euclidean algorithm to compute the greatest common divisor of any two elements.

In particular, the greatest common divisor of any two elements exists and can be written as a linear combination

Euclid's method for finding the greatest common divisor ( GCD ) of two starting lengths BA and DC, both defined to be multiples of a common " unit " length.

In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm, or Euclid's algorithm, is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor ( GCD ) of two integers, also known as the greatest common factor ( GCF ) or highest common factor ( HCF ).

The Euclidean algorithm is based on the principle that the greatest common divisor of two numbers does not change if the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number.

Since the two numbers are equal, we have found the answer: the greatest common divisor of 1989 and 867 must be 51.

The Euclidean algorithm calculates the greatest common divisor ( GCD ) of two natural numbers a and b. The greatest common divisor g is the largest natural number that divides both a and b without leaving a remainder.

Emma Hamilton and Horatio Nelson were by now the two most famous Britons in the world.

He was one of the first two Britons to ride the Tour de France.

he came to this conclusion using the justification that Roman writers like Julius Caesar and Tacitus had not referred to stone circles when discussing the Iron Age Britons, whereas Late Mediaeval historians like Geoffrey of Monmouth and Henry of Huntingdon had described these megaliths in their works, and that such monuments must have therefore been constructed between the two sets of accounts.
