In one application, continuous division can be used to find prime factorizations.
52/2 = 26/2 = 13/13 = 1
36/2 = 18/2 = 9/3 = 3/3 = 1
2 x 2 x 13 = 52
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36
By comparing these factorizations, we can find relationships between the numbers.
Since they have 2 x 2 in common, the GCF of 36 and 52 is 4.
By combining the highest number of each factor (2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 13), we can find the LCM: 468
We can also use continuous division to find the LCM directly.

What is the continuios division of 63?
Is 36 over 52 less than one half?
no its more than one half-- 26 over 52 would be one half. It is not because 36/52 means 36 divided by 52, and 36 divided by 52 or 36/52 is ≈ 0.69230769 and 1/2 is 0.50 and 0.69230769 is more than 0.50.
