Yes, by these numbers: 1, 2, 4, 229, 458, 916.
....2 | 458 229 | 229 ...... | 1 ⇒ 458 = 2 x 229
The positive integer factors of 458 are: 1, 2, 229, 458
1, 2, 229, 458.
1, 2, 229, 458.
457
458 - 229- 2 - 1
2 x 229 = 458
2 x 229 = 458
Answer: 2Solution: The greatest common factor of two numbers is defined as the largest number that divides both numbers into whole numbers (i.e. divides the numbers evenly).The easiest way to find the G.C.F. in this case is to begin by listing the factors of the smaller number:Factors of 70: 70, 35, 14, 10, 7, 5, 2, 1See if 70 divides 458 evenly (it does not), then 35 (again, it does not), and so on...until we find a factor of 70 that is also a factor of 458. We find that 2 is the largest such number.
