What is the GCF of 3and 4and 5?
The only factor that all of these numbers share is 1 since 3 and 5 are prime. So 1 is the gcf of this set of numbers.
What is the gcf of the numbers 155 and 350?
The GCF is 5.
What is the gcf of 15x3 and 18x5?
15*3 = 3*5*3 = 3*3*5 18*5 = 2*3*3*5 = 2*3*3*5 So GCF = numbers that appear in both lists (however many times in both) = 3*3*5 = 45
How do you use prime factorization to find the gcf of two numbers?
Write the numbers in their prime factorisations. the GCF is the product of the common primes (each time they appear). Example: 30 and 42 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Select the common factors. 2 x 3 = 6, the GCF Example: 24 and 60 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 GCF = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12 The prime 2 appears twice in both numbers. If you use the power format of the prime factorisation, the GCF is the product of each of the common primes to the LOWEST power across the numbers. For 24 and 60 this gives: 24 = 2³ × 3 60 = 2² × 3 × 5 → GCF = 2² × 3 = 12 As the lowest power of 2 across the numbers is 2², the lowest power of 3 across the numbers is 3 = 3¹, 5 is not common, but for completeness, 24 = 2³ × 3¹ × 5⁰ since 5⁰ = 1, so the lowest power of the prime 5 across the numbers is 5⁰: → GCF = 2² × 3¹ × 5⁰ = 4 × 3 × 1 = 12.
What 3 pairs of numbers that greatest common factor is 5?
5 and any multiple of 5 5,10 5,15 5,20
