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 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.
Can the greatest common factor of a polynomial ever be negative?
No.
Can the greatest common factor of two numbers ever be 1?
Yes.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the greatest common factor of 47 and 48?
47 is a prime number so the great common factor of 47 and any other number can only ever be 1.
Can the greatest common factor ever be smaller than the smallest coefficient?
No. The smallest coefficient possible is 1, and the smallest GCF is also 1. You cannot have a common factor of zero.
Is the greatest conman factor of a pair of numbers ever greater than both numbers?
No. At most, it can be equal to the smaller number.
Can the greatest common factor of an odd and an even number ever be even?
No. Odd numbers don't have even factors.
Is zero ever used as a Greatest common factor?
No. Zero is never a factor, except for maybe zero itself and that's a matter of definition that I don't know.
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.
