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.
Greatest Common Factor is GCF
Since 17 is a factor of 34, 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.
