There is not a greatest common factor of 479 because there cannot be a greatest common factor without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. The factors of 479 are 1 and 479. Since 479 is a prime number, it does not have any other factors than 1 and itself. The only common factors it could have with another number are 1 or 479.
2 and 3 are relatively prime, so multiply 479 by each of them to get two numbers that have 479 as a greatest common factor and are not divisible by each other, one which will be even and one which will be odd.479 x 2 = 958479 x 3 = 1437Furthermore, this is the smallest solution. The two numbers are multiples of 479, so let's call them 479x and 479y, where 479x is even and 479y is odd. Then x must be even, and y must be odd. So x is at least 2. y is an odd number, and it can't be 1 otherwise 479y would be a factor of 479x. So y is at least 3. Theefore the two numbers are at least 479*2 and 479*3.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math vibes here. So, if the greatest common factor of two numbers is 479 and one is odd while the other is even, and they're not divisible by each other, then the smallest those two numbers could be is 479 and 958. The odd number would be 479 and the even number would be 958. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
To find the common factors of 4572, we need to list all the factors of 4572. The factors of 4572 are 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76, 479, 958, 1916, and 4572. The greatest common factor (GCF) of 4572 is the largest number that divides evenly into 4572 and any other number. In this case, the GCF of 4572 is 4.
479 is a prime number. The only factors for this number is 479 and 1.
479 is a prime number. Numbers having a greatest common factor of 479 are 479 and 958, or any other two or more multiples of 479.
479 and 479
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, which is 479. Also, only one number can be the greatest.
The two numbers can be 479 and 958 (479 doubled). 958 only has the factors 479 and 2, so, since 2 does not factor into 479, the common factor remains 479.
There is not a greatest common factor of 479 because there cannot be a greatest common factor without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. The factors of 479 are 1 and 479. Since 479 is a prime number, it does not have any other factors than 1 and itself. The only common factors it could have with another number are 1 or 479.
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.
958 and 1437
There cannot be a greatest common factor (GCF) of just one number. To be common there need to be at least two numbers. If you find all the factors of two or more numbers, and you find some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.
The word "GREATEST" is a superlative adjective and that means there can be only one. Furthermore, the greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
2 AND 3
958 and 1437
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. If you are looking for the GCF of 4, 7, and 9, it is 1, as 7 is prime.
