The greatest common factor of two or more prime numbers is 1.
25 is the greatest common factor. 5 is the greatest prime factor.
If the greatest common factor is 1, then the numbers are said to be co-prime or relatively prime.
Factor trees lead to prime factorizations. Negative numbers don't have prime factorizations. We'll do 98. If you want, you can put -1 in front of it. 98 49,2 7,7,2
73 is a prime number so 51,3x17 and 73 only have the number 1 as the greatest common factor.
You do a factor rainbow to find a prime factorization. You compare prime factorizations to find a greatest common factor.
If they have no prime factors in common, their GCF is 1.
If you construct them correctly, factor trees always work to determine the prime factorization of a number. Once you compare the prime factorizations of two or more numbers, it is relatively easy to find the greatest common factor of them from there.
2 x 2 = 42 x 5 = 10The GCF is 2.
Prime factorization and the Euclidean algorithm
2 x 7 = 14 5 x 7 = 35 The GCF is 7.
2 is the greatest common factor and it is prime
Yes. The greatest common factor of 4 and 10 is 2, which is a prime number. The greatest common factor of 51 and 81 is 3, which is a prime number.
The same as with smaller numbers. Every composite number, no matter the size, can be expressed as the product of prime factors. Comparing prime factorizations will give you the GCF.
The greatest prime factor of 40 is 5. The greatest prime factor of 63 is 7. They do not have any prime factors in common.
Greatest common factor of 20 & 51 is 1. Factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 & 20. Factors of 51 are 1, 3, 17 & 51. The only common factor is 1, so GCF is 1. Alternate method: Prime factorization of 20 = 2x2x5 Prime factorization of 51 = 3x17 From the prime factorizations it is clear that 1 is the GCF of 20 and 51.
The greatest common factor of 54 and 99 is 9, which is not prime. The greatest common factor of 80 and 114 is 2, which is prime.
