When finding the greatest common factor of a polynomial can it ever be larger than the smallest coefficient?
Yes, the greatest common factor is less than or equal to the smallest coefficient. For example, the greatest common factor of 38 and 8 is 2.
Greatest common factor of 576 equal -73?
-64 and -9 are a factor pair of 576 that add up to -73
What is a GCF?
The abbreviation "GCF" means Greatest Common Factor. A GCF is the highest number that can be multiplied that two numbers have in common. An example is that the number 4 is the GCF of 8 and 12. That means when you are comparing the numbers 8 and 12, the highest number that they share that can be multiplied to equal either 8 or 12, is 4.
What is the greatest common factor of 19 and 57 as a fraction?
19 is a factor of 57. The fraction 19/57 is equal to 1/3.
Can the greatest common factor of 16 and 42 be less than 16?
Yes. The greatest common factor of 16 and 42 must be a factor of 16. The only rule is that the GCF has to be equal to or less than the lower number. Since 16 is not the GCF of 16 and 42, the GCF has to be lower than 16.
Is the greatest common factor of a pair of number ever equal to one of the numbers?
Yes, if that number is a factor of the other.
Is the greatest common factor of two numbers equal to the lesser of the numbers?
Only if that number is a factor of the other.
What number is not a common factor for 12 and 30?
Lots of numbers are NOT common factors. For example, 5, 7, 100...Get the greatest common factor of both numbers. All common factors are factors of this greatest common factor. Note that all of them must needs be less than or equal to the greatest common factor. Any other number is NOT a common factor.

What is the Lcms of 5 and 15?
If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).
Is the greatest common factor of a pair of numbers always equal to or less?
Always equal to or less than the smaller number, yes.
