The only rule is that the GCF has to be equal to or less than the lower number. Since 16 is not the GCF of 16 and 42, the GCF has to be lower than 16.
yes... 16 is not a factor of 42 GCF is 2
Yes, the GCF of any set of numbers must be less than or equal to the smallest member of the set. It cannot be greater. In this case, it is not 16 so it is less than 16.
What is the square root of 16
To calculate the GCF you first need to split the numbers into their prime factors: 16=2x2x2x2 32=2x2x2x2x2 The next step is to identify the common factors in each. Both numbers use four 2s, so we take these 4 2s and work out the product: 2x2x2x2=16 Thus, the GCF of 16 and 32 is 16.
