There can be no greatest common denominator.
For supose x is the greatest common denominator.
ie 24 divides x and 36 divides x.
Then 2x is a common denominator and 2x > x so 2x is a greater common denominator than the greatest common denominator. That contradiction implies that there is no greatest common denominator.
24/36=2/3. The greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12, so simply divide the numerator and the denominator by 12 to simplify.
The GCF is 3.
Oh, what a happy little question! To find an equivalent fraction to 24 over 36, we can simplify it by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 12. So, 24 divided by 12 is 2, and 36 divided by 12 is 3. Therefore, 24 over 36 is equivalent to 2 over 3. Isn't that just delightful?
The GCF is 22 x 3.
its GCF not GFC Greatest Common Factor: the answers 12
The greatest common denominator of the whole numbers 36, 12, and 8 is 1.
You can have a least common denominator or a greatest common factor but a greatest common denominator does not exist.
The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.
The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.The GCF of 36 and 45 is 9.
The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.
The least common denominator is 2 * * * * * That is totally wrong. LCD(24, 36) = 72

24/36=2/3. The greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12, so simply divide the numerator and the denominator by 12 to simplify.
It is 72.
A common denominator, though not the least, is 12960.
The greatest common denominator is an infinite amount and not very practical for problem solving.
