There are two popular methods to answer greatest common factor questions. The traditial method has to do with listing all the factors of each number. This can take a long time and become very tasking.
The method I will show you for this problem is using the prime factors each number has in common.
Steps:
1. First use a tree diagram to find the prime factorization of each number.
Prime factorization for 35: 5*7
Prime factorization for 225: 3*3*5*5
2. Find the prime factors that each number has in common. For this problem they only have on pair of prime factors which is 5. Since there is only one pair, 5 is the GCF (greatest common factor).
3. In other situations where there are more than one pair of prime factors, multiply them together. For example, the pairs of common prime factors from 225 and 750 are 3, 5, and 5. So the GCF of 225 and 750 will be 75 as a result of multiplying 3*5*5.
21 and 35's highest common factor is seven.
The greatest common factor (GCF) is: 7.7
The greatest common factor of 7, 35 and 49 is 7.
The GCF is 7.
The GCF is 5.
The GCF is 7.
The GCF is 1.
21 and 35's highest common factor is seven.
The highest common factor (also called greatest common factor) of 10 and 35 is 5.
The highest common factor is 35.
7The highest common factor is 7
The highest common factor of the numbers 35, 49 and 91 is 7.
The highest common factor of all four numbers is 7
The highest common factor (HCF) is 7.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 25 and 35 is 5.
The GCF is 5.
The lowest common factor of any two numbers is 1. The highest common factor of 5 and 35 is 5; The Lowest common multiple of 5 and 35 is 35.
