No. The GCF of any two numbers is also a factor of their difference. The difference between consecutive numbers is 1 so their GCF must also be a factor of 1. The only factor of 1 is 1 - and hence the result.
Let the first odd number be 2n-5 (n ≥ 3), then the 6 consecutive odd numbers are: 2n-5, 2n-3, 2n-1, 2n+1, 2n+3, 2n+5 And their sum is: 2n-5 + 2n-3 + 2n-1 + 2n+1 + 2n+3 + 2n+5 = 12n The greatest common factor for all n(≥ 3) of 12n is 12. Thus 12 is the greatest whole number that MUST be a factor of the sum of any six consecutive positive odd numbers.
The factor pairs of 1295 are (1295,1)(259,5)(185,7)(37,35) None of them are consecutive. 35 and 37 are consecutive odd numbers.
The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.
There is no Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for a single number. The Greatest Common Factor is the largest factor common to two or more numbers.
Consecutive even numbers.
Consecutive even numbers.
Consecutive even numbers
The greatest common factor of 4 and 5 is 1. The GCF of any consecutive integers is 1.
Consecutive even numbers.
Any consecutive even numbers.
Any consecutive even numbers.
Consecutive even numbers have a GCF of 2.
Greatest common factor(GCF) of two consecutive even numbers is 2. Here 500 and 502 are consecutive even numbers so, their GCF is 2.
Every positive number has itself as its greatest factor. So your answer is 4.
Because the numbers being asked about are consecutive even numbers.
No, the greatest common factor cannot be larger than any of the numbers in the set.
