The greatest factors of A, B, and C, respectively, are the absolute values of A, B, and C. The greatest common factor of A, B, and C is 1.
If the greatest common factor/divisor of A and B is 1 then they are coprime - they do not share any prime factors. Multiplying both through by C means, obviously, that each number now divides by C. In fact, C is their greatest common divisor, since AC and BC do not have further common factors after C is taken out. Hence the GCF of AC and BC is not merely a factor of C - it is C. (The question makes sense only if A, B and C are integers.)
Variables can have any value. That's an infinite number of factors.
Since C can be any number, the answer can be any factor of 60.
To factor out the greatest common factor from the given expression 14cd - 7c, we first identify the common factors of the coefficients and variables. The greatest common factor of 14 and 7 is 7, and the common factor of c is c. Therefore, we can factor out 7c from both terms to get 7c(2d - 1).
The GCF of those numbers is 15.
The GCF is 1.
The answer depends on whether or not a is a factor of c.

the only common factor is 1 b/c 11 is a prime number.
Variables can be any number, leaving an infinite number of GCF possibilities.
Well, think about what it means for something (say a number c) to be the greatest common factor of 2 numbers (say a and b *non-zero*).It means that c is the largest integer such that a and b are both divisible by c.If c > a, then how can a be divisible by c?If c > b, then how can b be divisible by c?Therefore c < a & bAs for 16 and 42:16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 242 = 2 x 3 x 7The only shared (or common) prime factor is 2. Therefore the GCF is 2.Other answer:No, GCF(16,42) can't be greater than 16.GCF of two numbers a and b(where a>b) is always smaller than or equal to a.But why it can't be greater than a?GCF means greatest common factor, the greatest factor of a is a, and there can be many common factors of a and b. But a(factor of a) is the largest among all the common factors, so GCF can't be greater than a. Prime factorization of 16 = 2x2x2x2Prime factorization of 42 = 2x3x7What is common in the factorization of 16 and 42? Only 2 is common so GCF is 2.
Variables can have any value. That's an infinite number of factors.
I assume numerator and denominator will be in two different variables, Just divide both of them by the greatest common factor.Here is a method to calculate the greatest common factor; it is based on the fact that, for example, the greatest common factor of 14 and 10 is the same as the greatest common factor of 10 and 4, where 4 is calculated as 14 - 10 (or faster, to avoid repeated subtractions, 14 % 10).public static void main(String[] args) {System.out.println(gcf(300L, 200L));}static long gcf(long a, long b){long c;while (true){c = a % b;if (c == 0) break;a = b;b = c;}return b;}
GREATEST common factor
Suppose you have a fraction in the form a/b and suppose c is a common factor of a and b.c is a factor of a so that a = c*xc is a factor of b so that b = c*ywhere x and y are integers.And so a/b = cx/cy = x/y.The process is as follows:find a common factor, c, of the numerator (a) and the denominator (b).the new numerator is the old numerator divided by the common factor that is, x = a/c;the new denominator is the old denominator divided by the common factor that is, y = b/c;the new fraction is x/y.
Since C can be any number, the answer can be any factor of 60.
That depends on the value of C.
