Any positive number can be a GCF. But for each separate set of numbers, there can only be one.
Because odd numbers don't have any even factors so they can't have any in common.
Any two integers have a gcf. It is also possible for an odd and an even number to have a gcf other than one; for example, the following numbers (shown in factored form) have the gcf 7: 7 x 7 7 x 8 ex. 3 and 6, the GCF is 3 14 and 21 the GCF is 7
yes
Any number, positive or negative, raised to an even-numbered power, returns a positive number.
The GCF of 2 and any even number is 2.
Any positive number can be a GCF. But for each separate set of numbers, there can only be one.
The GCF of any two odd numbers is always odd. The GCF of any two even numbers is always even. The GCF of an odd and an even number is always odd.
The GCF of an odd and even number is never even.
Any consecutive even numbers have a GCF of 2.
The LCM of two and any other positive even number is the other positive even number.
A positive number times a positive number is always positive. A negative number times a negative number is always positive. Therefore, any square number will be positive. Any number to the fourth power (a square times a square) will always be positive. And so on.
Any even number
The greatest factor of any single positive number is the number itself. The GCF of 20 and 30 is 10.
All even numbers have two as a factor. Any two even numbers have (at the least) two as a common factor. That means the GCF of any two even numbers will have two as a factor. Any number that has two as a factor is even.
Because odd numbers don't have any even factors so they can't have any in common.
True. Even numbers are even because they are multiples of 2. That means that any two even numbers will have at least 2 as a common factor. Since that number (the GCF) will have 2 as a factor, it will be a multiple of 2: an even number.
