If you construct them correctly, factor trees always work to determine the prime factorization of a number. Once you compare the prime factorizations of two or more numbers, it is relatively easy to find the greatest common factor of them from there.
There is always a common factor. If there are no common prime factors, the GCF is 1.
In the list of common factors, the greatest is the largest, the least is the smallest (which is always 1)
The common factors are 1 and 3. The greatest of these is 3.
The common factors are 1 and 7. The GCF is 7.
The common factors are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16The Greatest Common Factor = 16
There is always a common factor. If there are no common prime factors, the GCF is 1.
no
The factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, and 22. The factors of 55 are 1, 5, 11, and 55. The common factors are 1 and 11. Therefore, the greatest common factor is 11. The greatest common factor can also be find by determining the prime factors and multiplying the common prime factors together. The prime factors of 22 are 2 and 11. The prime factors of 55 are 5 and 11. The common prime factors are a single 11, so the greatest common factor is 11.
No. The greatest common factor of any two or more numbers is always the single highest common factor.
In the list of common factors, the greatest is the largest, the least is the smallest (which is always 1)
The greatest common factor is the largest of the common factors.
The common factors are 1 and 3. The greatest of these is 3.
The common factors are: 1, 5 The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is: 5
What are the greatest common factors of 990 and 1540
They aren't. The GCF of 18 and 21 is 3.
1,2,5,10 are the common factors, and the Greatest Common Factor is 10.
The greatest common factor of two numbers has to show up on the lists of factors of both numbers.
