What are the greater common factor of18 and 36?

The Greatest Common Factor depends upon the numbers for which there are common factors and it is the greatest one of them; it can be greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 40 and 100 is 20. The greatest common factor must be one of the factors of each of the numbers. As the factors of each number cannot be greater than that number, the greatest common factor of a set of numbers cannot be greater than the least number. If this number is not greater than 18 then the greatest common factor of the numbers cannot be greater than 18. Even if the least number is greater than 18 it is possible that the greatest common factor of a set of numbers is still not greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 20, 30 and 50 is 10.


What is the least common factor of 12 and 18?

If you want the "least", then there can only be one. If there were more than one,then one would be smaller than the other, and they wouldn't both be "least".The least common factor of 12 and 18 is ' 1 '.In fact, the least common factor of any two numbers is ' 1 '.


When is the LCM of 2 numbers less than their product?

What are two numbers that have a Greatest Common Factor of 7 and a Least Common Factor of 28?

The greatest common factor can't be a smaller number than the least common factor, but if you meant least common multiple, 7 and 28 have a GCF of 7 and an LCM of 28.


What is the greatest common factor of 225 other than 225?

There is no common factor as you have to have at least 2 numbers to have a "common" factor. The greatest factor of 225 other than 225 is 75


Is the Greatest common factor of a pair of numbers even greater than both numbers?

No, the greatest common factor is never greater than the smallest number. The greatest common factor is the largest integer that divides evenly into all of the numbers listed.


Why GCF of two or more positive integers never greater than the least of the numbers?

I think you meant to say that it's never greater than the least of the numbers.The easiest explanation is to simply remind you that the GCF is a factor of every numberin the group, and no factor of a number can be greater than the number itself.
