Example: 30 and 42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
You need at least two whole numbers to find a GCF, not one decimal. If that's 5 and 6, the GCF is 1.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. If that's 72 and 96, the GCF is 24.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
The GCF is a relationship between whole numbers, not decimals.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. If that's 16 and 66, the GCF is 2.
You don't. LCM and GCF (HCF) refer to whole numbers. You can find the LCM of two whole numbers that happen to be denominators, but in that case we call it the LCD. You can find the GCF of two whole numbers that happen to be the numerator and denominator of a fraction, and that will let you know whether the fraction can be simplified.
GCF refers to whole numbers, not decimals.
To find a pair of numbers with a given GCF, take the GCF number and double it. The pair of numbers is the GCF, and two times the GCF. For instance, two numbers with a GCF of 3 are 3 and 6.
You don't; you need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
You need at least two whole numbers to find a GCF, not one decimal. If that's 5 and 6, the GCF is 1.
the GCF is only for whole numbers. if you open the door to decimals then you can find any number you want to be the greatest common factor
The GCF is the largest whole number that is a factor for both of the numbers of interest. GCF is useful when simplifying fractions.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. The GCF of 21 and 42 is 21.
