First find the factors of each number

Factors of 28: 1,2,4,7, 14, 28

Factors of 77: 1, 7, 11, (you can go further, but there is no point as you have reached the highest COMMON factor)

What is the highest factor COMMON to both - answer - 7

I hope this helps

Euclidean algorithm:

77 / 28 = (28 * 2) + 21

28 / 21 = (21 * 1) + 7

21 / 7 = (7 * 3) + 0

Since the last remainder is zero, the algorithm ends with 7 as the greatest common divisor of 28 and 77.
