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.
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.
-64 and -9 are a factor pair of 576 that add up to -73
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 217, 93, and 155, we first need to factorize each number. The prime factorization of 217 is 7 x 31, 93 is 3 x 31, and 155 is 5 x 31. The common factor among these three numbers is 31. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 217, 93, and 155 is 31.
19 is a factor of 57. The fraction 19/57 is equal to 1/3.
Yes, if that number is a factor of the other.
A single number cannot have a greatest common factor because "common" refers to factors that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.
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).
No. In order for something to be a factor of a number, it has to be less than or equal to the number.
Yes, if you're comparing a number to itself.
Always equal to or less than the smaller number, yes.
198 is the greatest three-digit even number that has no factor equal to 4.
When they have a factor in common greater than one.
Yes.
If the numerator was a factor of the denominator.
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.
Well, not always. The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10. But apart from that special circumstance, the statement is true. Apart from a number itself, all of its factors are smaller than it. Apart from a number itself, all of its multiples are larger than it. You can't have a GCF that is greater than the smaller number, and you can't have an LCM that is less than the larger one which means that the LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
