The two numbers can be 479 and 958 (479 doubled). 958 only has the factors 479 and 2, so, since 2 does not factor into 479, the common factor remains 479.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 16 and 56 is 8.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 323 and 391 is 17.
The greatest common factor of two or more prime numbers is 1.
is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 284 and 864 is 4.
The largest of the common factors of numbers is known as the greatest common divisor or greatest common denominator. The smallest common factor is called the lowest common divisor.
No, the greatest common factor is never greater than the smallest number. The greatest common factor is the largest integer that divides evenly into all of the numbers listed.
The smallest of the two numbers could be 850.
the smaller number
479 and 479
The greatest common factor is 13. Both 26 and 91 are divisible by 13. The greatest common factor cannot be larger than the smallest number, so the greatest common factor in this case is the smallest number - 13, since it is a factor of the other two numbers.
The greatest common factor of 2, 8, and 14 is 2. The greatest common factor of any set of numbers can't be greater than the smallest of the numbers.

The greatest common factor must be a factor of the smallest number. The smallest number is 7. Its factors are 1 and 7. So the greatest common factor must be either 1 or 7. Since 7 is the larger of the two factors, check whether it is a factor of the additional numbers. Since it is, 7 is the greatest common factor.
The greatest factor that two or more numbers have in common is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.
this is hard
There cannot be a greatest common factor if there are not at least two numbers to compare. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers have in common - the largest factor that they all share.
