Divide the number 32 by successive prime numbers to get the factors until you cant divide any more numbers... 32/1=32 (factors are 1 and 32) 32/2=16 (factors are 2 and 16) 32/3=does not divide to be a whole number 32/4=8 (factors are 4 and 8) 32/5=does not divide to be a whole number 32/6=does not divide to be a whole number 32/7=does not divide to be a whole number Now you done with all the numbers you can. Therefore 1,32,2,16,4 and 8 are factors.
The greatest common factor is 16: 32 X 5 = 16 X 10; 64 X 4 = 16 X 16; and 16 = 16 X 1. Even though the two numbers could be further reduced, the term with "x" would then be fractional; therefore, 16 is the greatest common factor.
3 and 5. 225 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 which can also be written 32 x 52.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. If that's 14 and 4, the GCF is 2.
All numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. Multiples of numbers have all of the factors of numbers that are factors of them, plus some of their own. 32 is a multiple of 16 and will have all of its factors. 64 is a multiple of both 32 and 16 and will have all of their factors.
