We don't ordinarily discuss common factors of negative numbers.But you asked for it ! I'll say that positive 1is.
The greatest factor of any positive number is the number itself.
No.
The greatest common factor of 12 and 20 is 4
The negative greatest common factor is a meaningless term because it would always be -1. In this case, the GCF is 5.
It doesn't matter if the expression is negative, the greatest common factor will still be positive, since you only count the left side of the ladder. When the left side is mutiplied together, it will be positive, because the negative side is on the right side. Therefore, just keep dividing the negative, but it will not affect the common factor
The greatest common positive integer factor of 117 and 189 is 9.
In math, GCF stands for greatest common factor.
The Greatest Common Factor is asking for the largest number. I conclude that positive numbers are larger than negative ones.
