Is the highest common factor of two numbers always less than the numbers themselves?
Normally I would say yes, unless it is a Prime number. However if you are talking numbers where one is a factor of the other, 24 and 8 for a simple example, then the highest common factor could be one of the numbers.
What else can I help you with?
Can there be 2 greatest common factors?
No. The greatest common factor of any two or more numbers is always the single highest common factor.
What is the highest common factor of 33 and 22?
Always start by factoring the numbers into primes: 33 = 3*11 22 = 2*11 The only common factor is 11. It is the highest common factor.
What is the highest common multiple of 8 12 and 16?
There is no highest common multiple of any two or more numbers, for whatever value you come up with I can always add the LOWEST common multiple of the numbers to get an even higher common multiple. If you meant LOWEST common multiple, then LCM(8, 12, 16) = 48 If you mean the highest common FACTOR (the largest integer that divides into all the numbers) then HCF(8, 12, 16) = 4
What is the highest common factor of 6 and 36?
The highest common factor of two numbers is always equal to the smallest number if that number is a factor of the larger number. This is the case here. Since 6 is a factor of 36, 6 is the highest common factor of 6 and 36.
What is the highest common factor of 2 co-prime numbers?
A single number cannot have a highest common factor because "common" refers to factors that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.
What is the Highest Common denominator of 7 and 17?
The highest or greatest common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 7 and 17, will always be one (1) because 'common denominator' refers to the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers, not whole numbers. So, a set of whole numbers (x,x) would have to be converted to their fraction equivalents, i.e., x/1, which will always yield a denominator of 1.
Highest common denominator for 81 and 48?
The highest or greatest common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 81 and 48, will always be one (1) because 'common denominator' refers to the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers, not whole numbers. So, a set of whole numbers (x,x) would have to be converted to their fraction equivalents, i.e., x/1, which will always yield a denominator of 1.
What is the highest common factor of 88 and 66?
The highest common factor of the numbers 88 and 66 is 22.
What is the highest common factor of 210 and 330?
The highest common factor of the numbers 210 and 330 is 30.
What is the highest common multiply of 98154 and 182?
The highest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite.
What is highest common multiple of 15 and 18?
The highest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite.
What is the highest common factor of 118?
Two or more numbers are needed to find their highest common factor.
