The provided text introduces the Euclidean Algorithm, a method for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers. The algorithm is presented both conceptually, as finding the smallest common unit of measurement, and procedurally, using a series of divisions and remainders. The text then explores the algorithm's application to line segments, highlighting the implicit assumption of a common unit of length. It concludes by acknowledging that the algorithm relies on the existence of a common unit (like the number 1 for integers) and may not be directly applicable to all pairs of line segments.
