The first number is a multiple of the second.
If the second number is a multiple of the first number, then the greatest common factor (GCF) would be the first number itself. This is because the GCF is the largest number that divides both numbers evenly, and since the second number is a multiple of the first number, the first number would be the largest common factor. So, the GCF in this case would be the first number.
The GCF of 28 and 63 is 7.
There is no easy way. You can keep dividing the number by 2 but then you could be left with a large number which may be the product of two very large primes. There is no simple way to find the factors of such a composite number, and that is why they are used for data encryption.
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
A factor can or cannot be a prime number Ex: 2 is the factor of all other even numbers its a prime number but 9 is a factor of 18 and its not a prime number A prime is a factor but a factor being a prime number varies
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself. The second greatest factor of any even number is half the number. The second greatest factor of any composite number is the number divided by its smallest prime factor. The second greatest factor of any prime number is 1.
divisible
The first number is divisible by the second number
is a 'factor' of the second number.
The first is a multiple of the second. The second is a factor of the first.
You need a second number to have a highest common factor or it is infinite
When the first number can divide the second without remainder. The formal definition would be as follows: For integers x and y, x is a factor of y if there exists an integer n such that y = n*x
factor x factor= product
A factor or divisor.
Divide the smaller number into the bigger one. If the result is an integer, the first number is a factor of the second one.

The first number is a multiple of the second. The second number is a factor of the first.
