3 and 7?
12 & 16
The GCF is 1.
If one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the smaller number is the GCF. If the two numbers are prime numbers, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, the GCF is 2.
Its factors are: 1 2 4 19 38 and 76 Prime numbers: 2 and 19 Composite numbers: 4 38 and 76 Note: 1 is neither a prime or composite number
== == Yes. Once we open the field from integers to composite numbers, the gloves come off and lots of things are possible. Example: 1 1/2 = 3 x 1/3. The factor 3 is prime. All composite numbers have prime numbers as factors. Examples: 4 is a composite number of 2 x 2. 38 is a composite number of 2 x 19. 66 is a composite number of 2 x 3 x 11. == ==
25 and 36
I take it you are asking for an example, not a definition. Okay. Here are 2: 4 and 9.
The numbers need not have any common factor other than 1. For example, consider 2*5 = 10 and 3*7 = 21. 10 and 21 are both composite but their GCF = 1. They are said to be relatively prime or coprime. No.
12 & 16
The GCF is 1.
If one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the smaller number is the GCF. If the two numbers are prime numbers, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, the GCF is 2.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 11 and 19 is 1.
the GCF of 4 3 5 is 1
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into both the composite numbers. Example: 30 and 42 Factor them. 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Select the common factors. 2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Sure, they need not have common factors. For example, 16 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2) and 15 (3 x 5).
The GCF refers to whole numbers, not decimals.
Factor it. Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
