What else can I help you with?
Is the greatest common factor of a pair of number ever equal to one of the numbers?
Yes, if that number is a factor of the other.
The greatest common factor of 42 and 86?
OK you list all the factors of each number and what ever number is the greatest and the same in both numbers that is the Greatest Common Factor Glad I could help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is greatest common factor between two numbers ever bigger then both numbers?
No, it is never bigger than the smaller number.
Is the greatest common factor between two numbers ever bigger then both numbers?
No, it is never bigger than the smaller one.
Can the greatest common factor of an odd and an even number ever be even?
No. Odd numbers don't have even factors.
What is the largest common factor of 70 196?
The same as the greatest common factor of 70 and 26 - where 26 is the remainder of the division (196 divided by 70). Continue dividing, to get ever-smaller numbers - until one of the numbers is a multiple of the other. When this happens, the smaller of the numbers is the greatest common factor. This method is called the Euclid algorithm.
Can the greatest common factor of a polynomial ever be negative?
No.
Is the greatest common factor ever equal to 1?
Yes.
Is the Greatest common factor a pair of numbers ever greater than both nbrrs?
No, it's never greater than the smallest number.
When finding the greatest common factor of a polynomial can it ever be larger than the smallest coefficient?
Yes, the greatest common factor is less than or equal to the smallest coefficient. For example, the greatest common factor of 38 and 8 is 2.
Is it ever useful to know the greatest common factor of 3 or more numbers?
Yes, actually you might use it in tests for school.But its a great use.Trust me!! =)
Will two consecutive numbers ever have a greatest common factor greater than 1?
No. The GCF of any two numbers is also a factor of their difference. The difference between consecutive numbers is 1 so their GCF must also be a factor of 1. The only factor of 1 is 1 - and hence the result.
