Definition of GCF

Greatest common factor commonly known as GCF of the two numbers is the highest possible number which completely divides given numbers, i.e. without leaving any remainder. It is represented as GCF (1225, 105).

Properties of GCF

  • The GCF of two or more given numbers is always less than the given numbers. Eg- GCF of 1225 and 105 is 35, where 35 is less than both the numbers.
  • If the given numbers are consecutive than GCF is always 1.
  • Product of two numbers is always equal to the product of their GCF and LCM.
  • The GCF of two given numbers where one of them is a prime number is either 1 or the number itself.

What are factors?

In mathematics, a factor is that number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, 49, 175, 245, 1225 are exact divisors of 1225 and 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 105 are exact divisors of 105.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 1225 and 105 are factors of themselves respectively.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1225 and also of 105.

Steps to find Factors of 1225 and 105

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 1225 and 105 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 612 (half of 1225) and 1 upto 52 (half of 105). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    1225 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 25 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 21 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 175 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 245 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 105 : Remainder = 0
    1225 ÷ 1225 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 1225 are 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, 49, 175, 245, and 1225

And, Factors of 105 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, and 105

Examples of GCF

Sammy baked 1225 chocolate cookies and 105 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 1225 and 105.
GCF of 1225 and 105 is 35.

A class has 1225 boys and 105 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 1225 and 105. Hence, GCF of 1225 and 105 is 35.

What is the relation between LCM and GCF (Greatest Common Factor)?

GCF and LCM of two numbers can be related as GCF(1225, 105) = ( 1225 * 105 ) / LCM(1225, 105) = 35.

What is the GCF of 1225 and 105?

GCF of 1225 and 105 is 35.

Ram has 1225 cans of Pepsi and 105 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 1225 and 105. Hence GCF of 1225 and 105 is 35. So the number of tables that can be arranged is 35.
