What is GCF of two numbers?

In mathematics GCF or also known as greatest common factor of two or more number is that one largest number which is a factor of those given numbers. It is represented as GCF (111, 201).

Properties of GCF

The GCF of two given numbers where one of them is a prime number is either 1 or the number itself.
GCF of two consecutive numbers is always 1.
Given two numbers 111 and 201, such that GCF is 3 where 3 will always be less than 111 and 201.
Product of two numbers is always equal to the product of their GCF and LCM.

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 111 x 0 = 0 and 201 x 0 = 0.
Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 37, 111 are exact divisors of 111 and 1, 3, 67, 201 are exact divisors of 201.
Factors of 111 are 1, 3, 37, 111. Each factor divides 111 without leaving a remainder.
Simlarly, factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, 201. Each factor divides 201 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 111 and 201

Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 111 and 201 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 55 (half of 111) and 1 upto 100 (half of 201). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.

111 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

201 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

111 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

201 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

111 ÷ 37 : Remainder = 0

201 ÷ 67 : Remainder = 0

111 ÷ 111 : Remainder = 0

201 ÷ 201 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 111 are 1, 3, 37, and 111

And, Factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, and 201

Examples of GCF

Sammy baked 111 chocolate cookies and 201 fruit and nut cookies to package in plastic containers for her friends at college. She wants to divide the cookies into identical boxes so that each box has the same number of each kind of cookies. She wishes that each box should have greatest number of cookies possible, how many plastic boxes does she need?

Since Sammy wants to pack greatest number of cookies possible. So for calculating total number of boxes required we need to calculate the GCF of 111 and 201.
GCF of 111 and 201 is 3.

A class has 111 boys and 201 girls. A choir teacher wants to form a choir team from this class such that the students are standing in equal rows also girls or boys will be in each row. Teacher wants to know the greatest number of students that could be in each row, can you help him?

To find the greatest number of students that could be in each row, we need to find the GCF of 111 and 201. Hence, GCF of 111 and 201 is 3.

What is the difference between GCF and LCM?

Major and simple difference betwen GCF and LCM is that GCF gives you the greatest common factor while LCM finds out the least common factor possible for the given numbers.

Ram has 111 cans of Pepsi and 201 cans of Coca Cola. He wants to create identical refreshment tables that will be organized in his house warming party. He also doesn't want to have any can left over. What is the greatest number of tables that Ram can arrange?

To find the greatest number of tables that Ram can stock we need to find the GCF of 111 and 201. Hence GCF of 111 and 201 is 3. So the number of tables that can be arranged is 3.

Ariel is making ready to eat meals to share with friends. She has 111 bottles of water and 201 cans of food, which she would like to distribute equally, with no left overs. What is the greatest number of boxes Ariel can make?

The greatest number of boxes Ariel can make would be equal to GCF of 111 and 201. So the GCF of 111 and 201 is 3.

Mary has 111 blue buttons and 201 white buttons. She wants to place them in identical groups without any buttons left, in the greatest way possible. Can you help Mary arranging them in groups?

Greatest possible way in which Mary can arrange them in groups would be GCF of 111 and 201. Hence, the GCF of 111 and 201 or the greatest arrangement is 3.

Kamal is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. He has 111 maroon balloons, and 201 orange balloons. He wants each arrangement tohave the same number of each color. What is the greatest number of arrangements that he can make if every balloon is used?

The greatest number of arrangements that he can make if every balloon is used would be equal to GCF of 111 and 201. So the GCF of 111 and 201 is 3.

Kunal is making baskets full of nuts and dried fruits. He has 111 bags of nuts and 201 bags of dried fruits. He wants each basket to be identical, containing the same combination of bags of nuts and bags of driesn fruits, with no left overs. What is the greatest number of baskets that Kunal can make?

the greatest number of baskets that Kunal can make would be equal to GCF of 111 and 201. So the GCF of 111 and 201 is 3.

To energize public transportation, Abir needs to give a few companions envelopes with transport tickets, and metro tickets in them. On the off chance that he has 111 bus tickets and 201 metro tickets to be parted similarly among the envelopes, and he need no tickets left. What is the greatest number of envelopes Abir can make?

To make the greatest number of envelopes Abir needs to find out the GCF of 111 and 201. Hence, GCF of 111 and 201 is 3.
