That's called the greatest common factor, or GCF.
The Greatest Common Factor is the highest number that will exactly divide into two or more numbers.
Since 17 is a prime number - the only two numbers that will divide into it exactly are 1 & 17 !
345 is an odd number. This is because odd numbers don't divide by 2 exactly, but even numbers do divide by 2 exactly. 345 divided by 2 is 172.5 which is not a whole number. Therefore 345 is an odd number.
The greatest common factor (or GCF) is the highest number that can divide into aanother number, and not have a decimal (whole number).
The greatest common factor of the numbers 466 and 724 is the number 2. The greatest common factor is the largest number that will divide evenly into at least two different numbers.
Because 24 does not divide exactly into 36 ! For any number to be a factor of another number - it must divide exactly into it with no remainder. The same applies to GCF
The highest common factor is the greatest number which both numbers can divide by evenly. In this case, the greatest number 40 can divide by is 40. 80 can also divide by 40, and so this is a common factor. As no numbers greater than 40 will be able to divide 40 evenly, the hcf of 40 and 80 is 40.
The smallest positive integer that will divide exactly into all the numbers in any set of numbers is 1. The largest integer that will divide exactly into 567 and 8 is also 1 - this is their Highest Common Factor. The smallest integer that 567 and 8 will both divide into is 4536 - this is their Lowest Common Multiple.
That's a misrepresentation of the term "greatest common factor," or GCF, which is the largest number that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a set of two or more given numbers.
Factors are whole numbers that divide exactly into a whole number. These numbers have no remainder. Primes, on the other hand, have exactly two factors which are 1 and itself.
You add the numbers. Then you divide by the number of numbers (i.e., if you have three numbers, you divide the sum by 3).You add the numbers. Then you divide by the number of numbers (i.e., if you have three numbers, you divide the sum by 3).You add the numbers.

Then you divide by the number of numbers (i.e., if you have three numbers, you divide the sum by 3).
When you divide them, the answer is an integer, no remainder.
