A factor is a number .... the phrase Greatest Common Factor, shortened to GCF is just a shorthand way to tell you to find a GCF.
ex: 20 has several factors -- 1,2,4,5,10 and 20 But there is no GCF until you have 2 or more numbers to compare.
ex; Find the GCF of 20 and 30 --- ans 10. 10 is the greatest (largest) number that is a factor of both 20 and 30.
2 is a common factor, and so is 5, but the GREATEST factor that they have in COMMON is 10
Since 7 is a factor of 28, it is automatically the GCF.
Since 12 is a factor of 96, it is automatically the GCF.
The greatest common factor (GCF) is: 14
Since 74 is a factor of 222, it is automatically the GCF.
GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor.
The GCF is 15.
The greatest common factor (GCF) is: 5The GCF is 5.
Since 17 is a factor of 68, it is automatically the GCF.
Since 8 is a factor of 32, it is automatically the GCF.
The greatest factor that two or more numbers have in common is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.
Greatest Common Factor is GCF
Since 17 is a factor of 34, it is automatically the GCF.
