What is the greatest factor any number can have?
The greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers is the largest factor that all the numbers share. For example, 12, 20, and 24 have two common factors: 2 and 4. The largest is 4, so we say that the GCF of 12, 20, and 24 is 4. GCF is often used to find common denominators.
What is the GCF of 2 and 4?
GCF of 2 and 4 by Listing Common Factors There are 2 common factors of 2 and 4, that are 1 and 2. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 2 and 4 is 2.
What is the greatest factor of 2 or more numbers?
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that is common to two or more numbers (they share it). The greatest common factor of two (or more) numbers is the product of all the prime factors the numbers have in common.
What is the greatest factor of 2 and 6?
GCF of 2 and 6 by Prime Factorization As visible, 2 and 6 have only one common prime factor i.e. 2. Hence, the GCF of 2 and 6 is 2.
What is the GCF of 8 and 24?
GCF of 8 and 24 by Listing Common Factors There are 4 common factors of 8 and 24, that are 8, 1, 2, and 4. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 8 and 24 is 8.
What are the common factors of 15 and 30?
GCF of 15 and 30 by Listing Common Factors There are 4 common factors of 15 and 30, that are 1, 3, 5, and 15. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 15 and 30 is 15.
What is the GCF of 2/3 and 4?
As you can see when you list out the factors of each number, 1 is the greatest number that 2, 3, and 4 divides into.
