Example: Find gcf of 135 and 241

Factors for 135: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 135
Factors for 241: 1, 241

Hence, GCf of 135 and 241 is 1

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 (135, 241).

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 135 and 241, such that GCF is 1 where 1 will always be less than 135 and 241.
Product of two numbers is always equal to the product of their GCF and LCM.

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 number is a factor of zero (0), since 135 x 0 = 0 and 241 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, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 135 are exact divisors of 135 and 1, 241 are exact divisors of 241.
Factors of 135 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 135. Each factor divides 135 without leaving a remainder.
Simlarly, factors of 241 are 1, 241. Each factor divides 241 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 135 and 241

Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 135 and 241 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 67 (half of 135) and 1 upto 120 (half of 241). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.

135 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

241 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

241 ÷ 241 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 27 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 45 : Remainder = 0

135 ÷ 135 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 135 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, and 135

And, Factors of 241 are 1 and 241

Examples of GCF

Sammy baked 135 chocolate cookies and 241 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 135 and 241.
GCF of 135 and 241 is 1.

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.

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

GCF and LCM of two numbers can be related as GCF(135, 241) = ( 135 * 241 ) / LCM(135, 241) = 1.

What is the GCF of 135 and 241?

GCF of 135 and 241 is 1.

Ram has 135 cans of Pepsi and 241 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 135 and 241. Hence GCF of 135 and 241 is 1. So the number of tables that can be arranged is 1.

Rubel is creating individual servings of starters for her birthday party. He has 135 pizzas and 241 hamburgers. He wants each serving to be identical, with no left overs. Can you help Rubel in arranging the same in greatest possible way?

The greatest number of servings Rubel can create would be equal to the GCF of 135 and 241. Thus GCF of 135 and 241 is 1.

Ariel is making ready to eat meals to share with friends. She has 135 bottles of water and 241 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 135 and 241. So the GCF of 135 and 241 is 1.

Mary has 135 blue buttons and 241 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 135 and 241. Hence, the GCF of 135 and 241 or the greatest arrangement is 1.

Kamal is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. He has 135 maroon balloons, and 241 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 135 and 241. So the GCF of 135 and 241 is 1.
