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 (141, 329).

Properties of GCF

  • The GCF of two or more given numbers is always less than the given numbers. Eg- GCF of 141 and 329 is 47, where 47 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.

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 factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 47, 141 are exact divisors of 141 and 1, 7, 47, 329 are exact divisors of 329.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 141 and 329 are factors of themselves respectively.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 141 and also of 329.

Steps to find Factors of 141 and 329

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 141 and 329 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 70 (half of 141) and 1 upto 164 (half of 329). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    141 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    329 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    141 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    329 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    141 ÷ 47 : Remainder = 0
    329 ÷ 47 : Remainder = 0
    141 ÷ 141 : Remainder = 0
    329 ÷ 329 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 141 are 1, 3, 47, and 141

And, Factors of 329 are 1, 7, 47, and 329

Examples of GCF

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

GCF and LCM of two numbers can be related as GCF(141, 329) = ( 141 * 329 ) / LCM(141, 329) = 47.

What is the GCF of 141 and 329?
