The factor tree finds the prime factorizations The prime factorizations find the GCF and LCM.
Example 30 and 42:
30
15,2
5,3,2
42
21,2
7,3,2
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
Check it.
30 x 42 = 1260
210 x 6 = 1260
It checks.

HCF is the highest common factor of two or more numbers. HCf of 260 and 560 is 20.
It is: 10 that is the HCF of 30, 210 and 700
The HCF of 99 is 99. But it's a factor as opposed to a common factor because there's only one number.
The HCF of 60 is 60. But it's a factor as opposed to a common factor because there's only one number.
Yes.First find the HCF of two of the numbers, then find the HCF of that answer and the third number.In this way you could find the HCF of as many numbers as you want.
to find a factor of a number you have to 1. find the hcf (highest common factor) 2. find how many times the hcf goes into your number AND THAT IS YOUR ANSWER!
b
Two or more numbers are needed to find their HCF
The HCF (highest common factor) of 168 and 264 is 24
HCF is the highest common factor of two or more numbers. HCf of 260 and 560 is 20.
The HCF is always a factor of the LCM of two numbers. The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM. Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.
Find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of the numerator and denominator of the fraction. Divide both by their HCF and you will have the fraction in its simplest form.
A single number cannot have a common factor.
It is: 10 that is the HCF of 30, 210 and 700
Find a common factor of the numerator and denominator and divide both by that common factor. Repeat with the resulting numerator and denominator until the common factor is 1. Alternatively, find the highest common factor (HCF) and divide both by the HCF.
Two or more numbers are needed to find the HCF
