no it depends on what number it is ex. 36 what is the greatest commen factor?
Can YOU figure it out?
Answer:18 times 2
It is impossible to list the GCF of every pair of numbers, because there are infinitely many numbers. If you are looking for the GCF of any number by itself, the GCF of a single number is that number.
The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! Furthermore, the concept of GCF makes sense only in the context of integers. Once you allow fractions, every fraction is divisible by every non-zero fraction.
Because every set of whole numbers has a GCF.
If one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the smaller number is the GCF. If the two numbers are prime numbers, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, the GCF is 2.
To find a pair of numbers with a given GCF, take the GCF number and double it. The pair of numbers is the GCF, and two times the GCF. For instance, two numbers with a GCF of 3 are 3 and 6.
The GCF is 1.
The GCF is 1.
The GCF is 8.
The GCF is 25.
The GCF is 3.
Consecutive numbers have a GCF of 1.
The LCM will never be less than the GCF of a set of numbers.
