Example: 30 and 42

Factor them.

2 x 3 x 5 = 30

2 x 3 x 7 = 42

Select the common factors.

2 x 3 = 6, the GCF

How do you find gcf of set of numbers?

There are ways to find the GCF of set of numers; by the factor tree method and by the decomposition method. I know that these methods are the easy ways to get your GCF, but there is much, much more easier; it is the Euclidean Algorithm Method, you just divide the larger number in the 2 given numbers and divide the remainder to the dividend until there is no remainder. then the answer will be the first reainder. ENJOY SOLVING PROBLEMS.! and thanks for reading, I just want to share to you the method that I just discovered.! :D

How do you find the gcf of 73 and 127?

Find the factor pairs of each number. The greatest factor in common is the GCF. A hint, the definition of a prime number is a number with only two factors: 1 and itself.


Is the greatest common factor always sometimes or never a prime number explain?

GCF can sometimes be prime b ut not always. It is the Greatest (largest)number which will evenly divide into a given group of numbers. Prime numbers are not the only numbers that diviide into some thing and some \times, depending on the group of numbers given, it is prime. EX find GFC for 21 and 14 this is 7 which is prime find the gcf for 14 and 42 even though both are divisible by 7 (a prime) the Gcf is 14 itself. You were probably taught to do a prime factorization as the 1st step in finding the GCF. After that you must find all common factors in the list of primes and multiply them together. By multiplying you are creating a number that is not prime. If there is only one common prime number there is nothing to multiply so in that case the GCF is prime.

How do you find a pair of numbers when the GCF is given?

To find a pair of numbers with a given GCF, take the GCF number and double it. The pair of numbers is the GCF, and two times the GCF. For instance, two numbers with a GCF of 3 are 3 and 6.


How do you find the other number when the one number is given with the LCM and the GCF?

The product of the original numbers is equal to the product of the GCF and LCM. Divide the product of the LCM and GCF by the one number. The answer will be the other.
