A common divisor also divides the difference because division is interpreted as repeated subtraction. If a number divides evenly into the larger number and the smaller number, subtracting the smaller number repeatedly from the larger one will eventually leave a difference that the same divisor also divides evenly.

Conditions: There are two numbers in the example.; A chosen divisor divides evenly in the sense described by the speaker.; The subtraction is performed from the larger number using the smaller number.

In the Euclidean algorithm, when the division process yields a remainder of zero, the greatest common divisor of the original two integers is the last non-zero remainder obtained. The algorithm stops at this point because the method is over, and the last non-zero remainder is guaranteed to divide both original numbers evenly.

Conditions: The Euclidean algorithm is applied to two integers.; The process of repeated long division is followed until a remainder of zero is reached.
