1, 2, 4, 8, 16
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Because 16 is a factor of 16, but it's not a factor of 42. So a number that's a factor of both 16 and 42 must be less than 16. (It can't be more than 16, because no factor of 16 can be bigger than 16.)
It can be and is. Since 16 is not a factor of 42, the GCF will have to be a factor of 16 that is less than 16.
The greatest common factor of 16 and 42 is 2.
Yes, the greatest common factor of 16 and 42 can be and is less than 16. The GCF of 16 and 42 is 2..
No.
because 16 is not a factor of 42 and the GCF is 2.
yes... 16 is not a factor of 42 GCF is 2
It can be and is.
Oh, absolutely! The greatest common factor of 16 and 42 can indeed be less than 16. In this case, the greatest common factor of 16 and 42 is 2, which is less than 16. It's all about finding the largest number that can evenly divide both 16 and 42, no matter how big or small it may be.
Since 16 is not a factor of 42, the GCF in this case has to be less than 16.
It can be and is.
It can be and it is.
