What is the greatest common factor of 196 and 1078?
196: 2-2-2-2-11 1078: 2-7-7-11 Greatest common factor: 22 Method(s) used: # The method to find the greatest common factor of numbers is to find the prime factorizations of each one, select all matching prime factors, and then multiply. # An alternative method is to find all of the factors of each, and then select the greatest number that appears in each list. # The final method only applies to some numbers; if one of the number is a factor of the other, then that number is the greatest common factor. This is because all numbers are factors of themselves, and that is their greatest factor. If it is also a factor of the other number, then it is definitely the greatest common factor.
What is the greatest common factor of 43 and 128?
The greatest common factor for 43 and 32 is 1. Method 1: Factoring completely, we determine that: 32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 1 43 = 43 * 1 The only factor that these two have in common is 1, making this the greatest common factor. Method 2: We notice that 32 is a power of 2 (2 ^ 5, to be exact), so its only unique factors are 1 and 2. Since 43 is odd, it does not have 2 as a factor. Therefore, the only factor that they could have in common is 1, making that the greatest common factor. Method 3: We notice that 43 is a prime number, meaning that its only factors are 1 and itself. Since 32 is not a multiple of 43 (impossible, being smaller), the only common factor they could have is 1.
What is the greatest common factor method of 132?
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! There can, therefore, be no method for a question that has no meaning.
What is the greatest common factor of 46 168 and 280?
The highest common factor of 46 and 138 is 46Factorization method:46 = 2×23138 = 2×3×23highest common factor = 2×23 = 46Alternative (modular) method:138 mod 46 = 0so 46 is the highest common factor.
What is Continuous division method of 24?
greatest common factor by using intersection of sets method,prime factorization method and continous division method of 72,96 and 200
Why do you need the common prime factors when finding the greatest common factor?
You do not necessarily need the common prime factors when finding the greatest common factor, but with large numbers or numbers for which you cannot easily determine all the factors, using prime factorization to determine the greatest common factor is the easiest method. The greatest common factor can then be determined by multiplying the common prime factors together. For example, when trying to find the greatest common factor of 2144 and 5672, finding all their possible factors to compare could be difficult. So, it is easier to find their prime factors, determine the prime factors they have in common, and then multiply the common prime factors to get the greatest common factor. For descriptions and examples of finding the greatest common factor, see the "Related Questions" links below.
What is the greatest common factor of 121 and 132?
121: 11-11 132: 2-2-3-11 Great common factor: 11 Method(s) used: # (used) The method to find the greatest common factor of numbers is to find the prime factorizations of each one, select all matching prime factors, and then multiply. # An alternative method is to find all of the factors of each, and then select the greatest number that appears in each list. # The final method only applies to some numbers; if one of the number is a factor of the other, then that number is the greatest common factor.

What is the greatest common factor of 6 57 and 99?
Since 6 = 2x3, 57 = 3x19 and 99 = 3^2 x 11, the GCF is 3. This method used comparing the prime factors to determine the greatest common factor. The only common prime factor all three numbers have is 3, so it is the greatest common factor. Another, less efficient, way to determine the greatest common factor is to find all the factors of the numbers and compare them. The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The factors of 57 are 1, 3, 19, and 57. The factors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, and 99. From this you can again see that the greatest common factor is 3.
Why does the listing method always works to find the greatest common factor?
The greatest common factor of two numbers has to show up on the lists of factors of both numbers.
