The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor common to two or more numbers. For example, 17 is the GCF of 34, 51, and 102 because it is the largest number that is a factor common to all three numbers.
The GCF, or Greatest Common Factor, is the largest positive integer that can be evenly divided into all the numbers of a given set.

What are the negative GCF of 980?
A couple of problems. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF and the GCF is by definition positive.
What number is a common factor of 15 18 and 30?
By its very definition, a single number cannot have a greatest common factor. The word "common" is there to indicate common to more than one integer. Of the 11 pairs, triplets and quads that can be drawn from the four numbers, 6 have GCF = 3, 4 have GCF = 6, and 1 has GCF = 15.
Why is the gcf of any even number always even?
By definition, every even number has 2 as a factor. That means that every set of even numbers will have at least 2 as a common factor. The GCF might be higher, but if it has 2 as a factor, it's even.
What is the GCF of the numbers 21 18 and 24?
The GCF is 6.
What is the GCF of 81 and 180?
The GCF is 9.
What are the negative GCF of 980?
A couple of problems. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF and the GCF is by definition positive.
What is the definition for LCM and GCF?
lcm means least common multiple and gcf mean greatest common factor
Is the GCF of relatively prime numbers ever 1?
The GCF of relatively prime numbers is always 1, by definition.
Does 5 and 10 have the GCF of 1?
The definition of GCF or greatest common factor is the largest number that evenly fits into both of them. 5 is divisble by 5, and 10 is divisible by 5. 5 is your GCF.
What is the definition of simplified form?
A fraction is in its simplest form when the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1.
What is the definition of simplest form in fraction?
If the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
What is the definition of gcf of 24 30 36?
The GCF of 24, 30 and 36 is the largest integer which can divide all three of these numbers without remainder. In other words it is the largest number that is a factor of each of the three numbers.
How do you find the gcf of 73 and 127?
Find the factor pairs of each number. The greatest factor in common is the GCF. A hint, the definition of a prime number is a number with only two factors: 1 and itself.
Are 30 and 49 relatively prime?
30 and 49 are relatively prime because the GCF (greatest common factor) is 1. The definition of a relatively prime number is two nonzero numbers that have a GCF of 1.
What are 2 composite numbers with the GCF of 1?
I take it you are asking for an example, not a definition. Okay. Here are 2: 4 and 9.
What number is a common factor of 15 18 and 30?
By its very definition, a single number cannot have a greatest common factor. The word "common" is there to indicate common to more than one integer. Of the 11 pairs, triplets and quads that can be drawn from the four numbers, 6 have GCF = 3, 4 have GCF = 6, and 1 has GCF = 15.
What is the brief definition of a greatest common factor?
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that divides evenly with no remainder into a set of given numbers.
