Consider the extremely large integers x=2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*23*29 y=29*31*37*41*43*47*53*59*61*67 what is the greatest common divisor of x and y?

Well, the first long expression is the prime factorization of x. The second long expression is the prime factorization of y. The only number that they have in common is 29. If you divide y by 67, you need to also be able to divide x by 67, which you cannot. So 29 is the greatest common divisor of x and y.
