The lowest common factor of any number is 1
Do you possibly mean Greatest Common Factor? The GCF of 15 and 35 is 5 because its the highest number that will divide evenly into both numbers. I guess the lowest common factor would be lowest number that divides into them which is -5 or negative 5, but why would you need that? Trevor, Math Teacher www.secondteacher.com
Of any given positive number, the highest factor is the number itself, and the lowest factor is 1.
The lowest common factor can not be larger than the lowest common factor. If you mean LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) and not LCF, the numbers are 5 and 150.
The lowest common factor of any two numbers is 1. The highest common factor of 5 and 35 is 5; The Lowest common multiple of 5 and 35 is 35.
The lowest common factor is: 1
The lowest factor of any positive number is 1. The lowest common factor of any set of positive numbers is 1.
The lowest common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The lowest common factor refers to a comparison between at least two sets of factors. There is no LCF of a single number like 6. That being said, the answer is 1, because the LCF for 6 and any other number is 1.
you can't have an LCF of one number... you need at least 2 numbers, it is called COMMON, isn't it?
5, because since 5 is a prime number (meaning it has only two factors, 1 and 5) its largest factor period is itself. 1 and 5 both go into 20 evenly, so the LCF is 5.
5* * * * *A pedantic amendment:5 is the Highest common factor. The lowest common factor for any set of postitive integers is always 1.
