List the factors.
1, 2, 4, 8
1, 2, 7, 14
Select the largest number that appears on both lists.
The GCF is 2.
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.
Multiplying the highest prime factors it is: 72
The greatest common factor (GCF) of two (or more) numbers is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. To find the GCF you must work out and list the prime factors of each of the numbers. You will see that the numbers have prime factors in common. Multiply those factors the numbers have in common together and this gives you the GCF for the numbers. eg Number A = 18, Prime factors = 2*3*3 Number B = 24, Prime factors = 2*2*2*3 The Prime factors that A and B have in common are 2 and 3 Multiply them together = 6 6= the GCF of 18 and 24
List the factors. 1, 5, 13, 65 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112 The only and therefore greatest common factor is 1.
It's tough to guess what the rest of this question would have been. Factor trees and rainbows are essentially the same thing: ways to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. With a tree, you write the given number at the top of the page and work down until the lowest branch consists entirely of prime factors and with a rainbow you write the given number at the bottom of the page and work up until the highest arc consists entirely of prime factors. If your original question was going to be, "Do a factor tree and factor rainbow like each other?" I can't help you.
Two or more numbers are needed to work out the highest common factor
To find the common factor when factorising, look for any common factors that can be divided evenly from all the terms in the expression. Divide each term by this common factor, and then factorise the resulting expression further if possible. This will help simplify the expression and make it easier to work with.
To find the highest common factor (HCF) of 119 and 161, we first need to find the factors of each number. The factors of 119 are 1, 7, 17, and 119. The factors of 161 are 1, 7, 23, and 161. The highest common factor of 119 and 161 is the largest number that both lists have in common, which is 7. Therefore, the HCF of 119 and 161 is 7.
Since 8 is a factor of 16, all of its factors are common.
The ratio is simply 24/15. That fraction (or ratio) can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their highest common factor.
There ain't no such animal! Highest goes with Common FACTORS; LEAST goes with Common Multiples.
That would be 1. The only other factor of 49 is 7, and that doesn't work.
1,3,7,9,21,63 1,2,3,4,8,9,18,24,36,72 The factors in common are 1,3,9 The largest (greatest) common factor is 9
The lowest common factor of two or more numbers will always be 1.
Ah, the Highest Common Factor, isn't that a happy little thing to find? Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of numbers coming together. The HCF of 168 and 220 is 4. Just like how every color on our palette plays a special role in creating a masterpiece, these numbers work together in harmony to find their highest common factor.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
There's no work to show. 24 is a factor of 48, so it has to be the GCF.
