What is the greatest common factor of 36 and 50?

Answer 1

The GCF of 36 and 50 is 2.

The HCF, or highest common factor, can be found using Euclid's algorythm

HCF(36,50)

50=(36)(1)+14

36=(14)(2)+8

14=(8)(1)+6

8=(6)(1)+2

6=(2)(3)+0

thus the HCF of 36 and 50 is 2

the answer is 2

36 = 1,9,4,18,2,3,12,6,6,36

50 = 1,25,2,5,10,50
The GCF is 2.
