    Pre-Algebra on Khan Academy: No way, this isn't your run of the mill arithmetic. This is Pre-algebra. You're about to play with the professionals. Think of pre-algebra as a runway. You're the airplane and algebra is your sunny vacation destination. Without the runway you're not going anywhere. Seriously, the foundation for all higher mathematics is laid with many of the concepts that we will introduce to you here: negative numbers, absolute value, factors, multiples, decimals, and fractions to name a few. So buckle up and move your seat into the upright position. We're about to take off!

      *in the context of online video. Remember, FULL HD video (yes) was a thing in the mid 90s (if you were very rich and lived in Japan). DVD became popular in the USA in the late 90s, and that's 480i with a relatively HUGE bitrate to even most standard definition online video today.

    it's so interesting to see how your Sal's videos have improved over the years. I'm currently doing Khan Academy in Year 10, using it to relearn the fundamentals of maths rather than traverse this hodge podge curriculum we're given. I was doing the HCF area and I suddenly saw the quality change and I must say it's amazing how it's improved over the years

The chorus of the song consists of all the prime numbers up through 53.

    Isn't it smarter to start with the smaller number? Since the GCD can never be larger than the smallest number.
    Then you can just start at the highest divisor of the smallest number and work your way down.

    @kcj1993 euclid's algorithm. Basically, the GCD of two numbers does not change when the smaller of the two numbers is subtracted from the larger number. So you subtract the smaller from the larger successively (switching numbers if the other becomes smaller, etc.) until one of the numbers is 0. The other number is the GCD. You can look up examples of this anywhere.
