Euclid's method is great for extremely large numbers - numbers which are extremely hard to factor. It doesn't require you to figure out the factors.I think the method is best explained with an example. Suppose you want the greatest common factor of 14 and 10.
This is the same as the gcf of 10 and 4 - where 4 is the REMAINDER of the division of 14 by 10 (if you divide 14 by 10, you get 1, with a reminder of 4).
Repeat: gcf(10, 4) = gcf(4, 2) - once again, the 2 is obtained as the remainder of the division, in this case, of 10 by 4.
gcf(4, 2) = gcf(2, 0) - in this case, the remainder is zero.
As soon as one of the numbers is zero, the other is the answer:
gcf(2, 0) = 2
1 is the greatest common factor of any fraction in lowest terms.
30 is the largest common denominator of 60 and 330.
Take the greatest common factor of the first two numbers - for example, using Euclid's algorithm. Then take the greatest common factor of the result, and the third number, etc.
It is 1.
When a the GCF of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.An expression is in its lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is one.
You can have a least common denominator or a greatest common factor but a greatest common denominator does not exist.
Find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator, then divide the numerator by greatest common factor and then divide denominator by greatest common factor, for a new simplified fraction.
The greatest common denominator is infinite. The least is 192. The greatest common factor is 16.
GCD stands for the Greatest Common Denominator. No it doesn't. GCD is the greatest common divisor, also known as the greatest common factor. The greatest common Denominator dne.
The greatest common denominator of any set of integers is infinite.The greatest common factor of this group is 13.
Just use the GCF(greatest common factor
You check whether the numerator and the denominator have a common factor. If they do, divide both the numerator and the denominator by this common factor. Continue until there are no more common factors. The greatest common factor can be found by prime factorization; for larger numbers, Euclid's algorithm is much more efficient.
We will need a value for the denominator to answer that.
945 is the lowest common denominator. 3 is the greatest common factor.
Yes, you can.
If the numerator was a factor of the denominator.
