You can not find the greatest common factor for just one number. Ill will choose another number to compare 33 with. Lets choose 88.
First take 33 and find all the numbers it divides into by a whole number
33/3 = 11 So 3 and 11
33/33 = 1 So 1 and 33
the only factors are 3 and 11 ... 3x11=33
and 1 and 33 ... 1x33=33
it is written like this...
33 - 1,3,11,33
Now take 88 and find all the numbers that it divides into by a whole number
88/2 = 44 So 2 and 44
88/4 = 22 So 4 and 22
88/8 = 11 So 8 and 11
88/88 = 1 So 1 and 88
So the factors of 88 are ... 2x44=88 ; 4x22=88 ; 8x11=88 ; 1x88=88
it is written like this
88 - 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88
Now take all of the factors of 33 and 88 and find the number that is in common and that is the greatest. Did you find it...
the answer is 11
8 = 1 * 8 24 = 3 * 8 GCF is 8.
1, 2, 4, 81, 2, 5, 10The 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.
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.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
is 8
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 greatest common factor of 28 and another number is 7 the second number is between 60 and 70 what is it show your work
8 = 1 * 8 24 = 3 * 8 GCF is 8.
To work out the greatest common factor, you need two numbers. In this case there is only one number so there is no GCF.
List the factors. 1,7 1,2,4,5,10,20 The only, and therefore the greatest common factor is 1.
1, 2, 4, 81, 2, 5, 10The GCF is 2.
There's no work to show. 24 is a factor of 48, so it has to be the GCF.
6 and 12 will work.
The factors of 184 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184 The factors of 207 are: 1, 3, 9, 23, 69, 207 The common factors are: 1, 23 The Greatest Common Factor: GCF = 23
Two or more numbers are needed to work out their GCF
