It can be and is. Since 16 is not a factor of 42, the GCF will have to be a factor of 16 that is less than 16.
There is no GCF of 16. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. The GCF of something and 16 could possibly be less than 16.
Since 16 is not a factor of 42, the GCF in this case has to be less than 16.
It can and it is. 16 is not a factor of 42 so the GCF of 16 and 42 must be less than 16.
yes... 16 is not a factor of 42 GCF is 2
Since 16 is not a factor of 40, the GCF must be less than 16.
It must be less than or equal to the smallest of the set of numbers whose GCF you are trying to obtain. So it must be less than or equal to 16. Furthermore, it is not 16 because 16 is not a factor of 42. Therefore, it must be less than 16.
The GCF of 2 numbers can be less than either number.
- If 'a' is less than '1', then '5' is the gcf. - If 'a' is more than '1', then '5a' is the gcf.
No. The GCF can be less than or equal to the smallest coefficient.
No.The gcf of two numbers is LESS THAN OR EQUAL than their lcm.The gcf of two DIFFERENT numbes is LESS THAN their lcm.
Yes, GCF means Greatest Common Factor For example the GCF of 15 and 18 is 3 which is less than both 15 and 18.
The LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF.
