    Numbers

    You know math so is there an easy Mnemonic for greatest common divisor without just brute forcing it? Excel has spoiled me so much.

    I'm not sure why you'd want to find the greatest common denominator though, greatest common factor and least common denominator are usually what people are looking for.

    JIT(Just in Time) scheduling for sequencing how to set up production of inventory for one of my business classes. Basically once you have daily demand you find the greatest common divisor in order to figure out how many of each product you'll make that many sequences of inventory. The daily demand divided by the GCD is the amount per sequence. If I didn't emphasize already it's for production of multiple types of inventory. That post probably sounded retarded but I only got like 3 hours of sleep if you get the idea.
