What is the greatest common factor of 4x3-6x2-28x?
The GCF for the numerical part is 2 . The factors for x2 are xâ‹…x x â‹… x . The factor for x1 is x itself
What is the greatest common factor of 28 and 154?
here is a tip: do 154/28 and you'll get 5.5 since the decimal part is 0.5, the answer is 28/2 = 14
What is the relationship between common factors and greatest common factors?
Common factors are factors that are shared by a given set of numbers, usually positive integers. Greatest common factors (sometimes abbreviated to GCFs) are the factors in these given sets that have the greatest value out of all common factors. Example: Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9 Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15 The common factors of 9 and 15: 1, 3 The GCF: 3
Why do some people get confused on LCM and GCF?
Perhaps the C in both means confusion! To eliminate the confusion let's look at some of the reasons for this confusion. Both LCM and GCF have a lot in common. When there are many similarities, it is difficult to see the differences. Both the LCM and GCF are used when studying fractions, a scary topic in and of itself, and both have the word "common" in them when the acronym is read as words. The most confusing part, however, is when looking for the factors, which is a smaller number, we say the word, "greatest" first! When looking for the multiples, which will be a larger number, we say the word, "least" first! I teach my students to say, "Factor, Greatest common factor!" as well as, "Multiple, Least common multiple!" I hope this helped someone! email me: pshaffer@bethsd.org Mrs. Pam Shaffer "Hop2Math"
