All numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are known as common factors. The largest of these is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.
The factors of 30 are:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The factors of 42 are:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
The common factors are:
1, 2, 3, 6
The Greatest Common Factor:
GCF = 6
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
There is no "common factor" of 350, to have a common factor you must have more than one number, so there is no common factor of 350.
The highest common factor (HCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The highest factor of any number is itself.
There cannot be a common or greatest common factor of just one number. You need two or more numbers.
95 and 115's highest common factor is five.
The highest common factor of two numbers is always equal to the smallest number if that number is a factor of the larger number. This is the case here. Since 6 is a factor of 36, 6 is the highest common factor of 6 and 36.
Not sure what the highest common number is. The highest common factor is 6
The highest common factor of any quantity of numbers in excess of 2 is the largest number which is a factor of both. A single number cannot have a common factor, as it has no other number to have a factor in common with. However, 119 factorises as:1,7,17,119
obviously, its highest common factor is the number itself. so the answer here is 90.
You need a second number to have a highest common factor or it is infinite
The highest common factor (HCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The highest factor of any number is itself.
Common factor requires more than one number.
common to what other number(s)?
A single number cannot have a highest common factor. A highest common factor is used to compare two or more numbers.
The highest common factor is the highest number that divides equally into your 2 numbers in this case 24 and 45. ok so the number that is in both of these numbers is 3 and is u list all the factors u will see. there is no other number that is in both and is the highest so 3 would be your highest common factor of 24 and 45.
The greatest common factor (or the highest common factor) is the highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers. 22: 1, 2, 11, 22 58: 1, 2, 29, 58 The highest common factor of 22 and 58 is 2.
The greatest (or highest) common factor is the highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers. The greatest common factor of 14 and 15 is 1
