Question: 21) Using Euclid's recursive greatest common divisor formula, find the greatest common divisor of 248 and 156. Show all steps as shown in the example
21) Using Euclid's recursive greatest common divisor formula, find the greatest common divisor of 248 and 156. Show all steps as shown in the example below to receive full credit.
Example:

Use Euclid's formula - gcd/a,b) ged(b, a mod b) to find the gcd of 24 and 68 Method 1 Method 2 gcd(68,24) = gcd(68, 24 mod 68) = gcd(68,24) = gcd(24, 68 mod 24) = gcd(24, 20) = gcd(24, 68 mod 24) = gcd(24, 20) = gcd(20, 24 mod 20) = gcd(20, 4) = gcd (4, 20 mod 4) =gcd(4,0) gcd(24, 68) gcd (20, 24 mod 20) Cd( 20, 4) = gcd(4, 20 mod 4) = gcd(4,0) | gcd(24, 68) = 4
