The GCF of the numbers is the greatest common factor no matter what their relationship is. When one number is a multiple of another number, the GCF is the smaller number.
The greatest common factors (GCF) of two numbers is one of the numbers when the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. Examples: The GCF of 10 and 20 is 10 (2 x 10 = 20) The GCF of 29 and 87 is 29 (3 x 29 = 87)
The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You are asking about one number having a GCF!
The GCF is the factor, the LCM is the other one.
The GCF of zero and any other number is the other number.
The GCF can be equal to the smaller number if the smaller number is a factor of the larger one. The GCF can be equal to both numbers if they are the same number. The GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
The GCF of the numbers is the greatest common factor no matter what their relationship is. When one number is a multiple of another number, the GCF is the smaller number.
47 is a factor of 94: 47*2 = 94.Suppose you are looking for the GCF of two numbers and that that one of the numbers is a multiple of the other. Then their GCF is always smaller of the two number.Every number is a factor of itself, so the smaller number is a factor of itself. Also, if the bigger number is its multiple, then it must also be a factor of the bigger number. So it is a common factor.Now, any number that is bigger than the smaller of the two numbers cannot be its factor. So, the common factor found earlier must be the greatest such number.
18 is a factor of 36. It's impossible to have a GCF larger than the smaller number, so 18 must be the GCF.
When the smaller one is a factor of the larger one. (That also means the larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.) The smaller number is the GCF of both.
No number can have a multiple smaller than itself. No number can have a factor larger than itself. In a set of two numbers, the LCM can't be smaller than the larger number and the GCF can't be larger than the smaller number. In rare cases, the LCM can equal the GCF, but it can never be smaller.
The greatest common factors (GCF) of two numbers is one of the numbers when the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. Examples: The GCF of 10 and 20 is 10 (2 x 10 = 20) The GCF of 29 and 87 is 29 (3 x 29 = 87)
When one of the numbers is a factor of the other, the smaller one is the GCF, because a number can't have a factor larger than itself.
30Any time the smaller number goes directly into the larger, the smaller is the GCF (HCF) and the larger is the LCM/LCD.
Any two prime numbers have a greatest common factor of 1. Examples: The GCF of 5 and 19 is 1. The GCF of 3 and 7 is 1. The GCF of 23 and 29 is 1. A prime number and any other number that is not a multiple of it have a greatest common factor of 1. Examples: The GCF of 2 and 9 is 1. The GCF of 7 and 16 is 1. The GCF of 13 and 60 is 1. Other pairs of numbers without any prime factors in common also have a greatest common factor of 1. Examples: The GCF of 4 and 9 is 1. The GCF of 21 and 25 is 1. The GCF of 72 and 77 is 1.
2 is a prime number, it doesn't have a factor tree. You can save time and effort by remembering that if the smaller of a pair of numbers is a factor of the larger one, it is automatically the GCF. The GCF of 2 and 36 is 2.
If the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number, as in this case, the GCF is the smaller number. (Alternatively, using Euclid's algorithm, the remainder of the division of the larger number by the smaller number is zero, so in this case, the GCF of 12 and 4 is the same as the GCF of 4 and 0 - which is equal to 4.)
