All numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are known as common factors. 3 is a factor of 9. 3 is a factor of 15. 3 is a common factor of 9 and 15.
That would be called a "common factor" of the two (or more) numbers.
Do you mean all the factors? I'm not sure what "common factors" is?
That's a common factor.
Factor, in maths terms means "a number that divides into a given number with no remainders". You may be asked to find the "highest common factor" that two number share - this is the "biggest number that divides into both the given numbers, with no remainders".
A common Factor
The greatest common factor is the highest number that can be divided equally into two or more numbers.
Answer: None, it is impossible. No single number has a greatest common factor. A "common factor" is a factor that two or more numbers have in common. The "greatest common factor" is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.
A number that is a factor of two or more numbers is simply a common factor
24 is not the greatest common factor of any single number. Common factors are the factors that two or more numbers have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common. There cannot be any common factors or a greatest common factor of a single number. There must be at least two number for common factors and a greatest common factor. Example: The greatest common factor of 24 and 48 is 24. The greatest common factor of 60 and 144 is 24. The greatest common factor of 240 and 264 is 24.
That would be called a "common factor" of the two (or more) numbers.
A common factor requires two numbers
You need two number to get a common factor. A single number doesn't have any.
There cannot be a common factor of just one number. To be common there need to be at least two numbers.
In math, a common factor usually refers to a factor that two or more numbers have in common. But, if you mean the most frequently occurring factor, that would be different. Since 1 divides every number, it would be the most common (frequently occurring) factor.
A whole number that is a factor of two or more numbers is a common factor.
Do you mean all the factors? I'm not sure what "common factors" is?
When one number is a multiple of the other, the greatest common factor of the two is the smaller number.
