An interesting trick is to subtract the two numbers, as follows:

For example, the GCF of 14 and 10 is the same as the GCF of 10 and 4, where 4 is the result of the subtraction. Instead of subtracting several times, you can also get the remainder of a division: 10 divided by 4 gives a remainder of 2.
