How to find GCF of two numbers

Steps to find GCF of 22 and 154

Find all the numbers that would divide 22 and 154 without leaving any remainder as explained in factors below.
Find the greatest common factor from the list of factors for 22 and 154, and read off the answer!

Example: Find gcf of 22 and 154

Factors for 22: 1, 2, 11, 22
Factors for 154: 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, 154

Hence, GCf of 22 and 154 is 22

How do we define GCF?

In mathematics we use GCF or greatest common method to find out the greatest possible positive integer which can completely divide the given numbers. It is written as GCF (22, 154).

Properties of GCF

Given two numbers 22 and 154, such that GCF is 22 where 22 will always be less than 22 and 154.
GCF of two numbers is always equal to 1 in case given numbers are consecutive.
The product of GCF and LCM of two given numbers is equal to the product of two numbers.
The GCF of two given numbers is either 1 or the number itself if one of them is a prime number.

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 22 and 154 are factors of themselves respectively.
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, 2, 11, 22 are exact divisors of 22 and 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, 154 are exact divisors of 154.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 22 and also of 154.
Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 22 x 0 = 0 and 154 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 22 and 154

Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 22 and 154 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 11 (half of 22) and 1 upto 77 (half of 154). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.

22 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

22 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

22 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

22 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 14 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 77 : Remainder = 0

154 ÷ 154 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, and 22

And, Factors of 154 are 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, and 154

Examples of GCF

Sammy baked 22 chocolate cookies and 154 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 22 and 154.
GCF of 22 and 154 is 22.

A class has 22 boys and 154 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 22 and 154. Hence, GCF of 22 and 154 is 22.

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(22, 154) = ( 22 * 154 ) / LCM(22, 154) = 22.

What is the GCF of 22 and 154?

GCF of 22 and 154 is 22.

Mary has 22 blue buttons and 154 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 22 and 154. Hence, the GCF of 22 and 154 or the greatest arrangement is 22.

Kamal is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. He has 22 maroon balloons, and 154 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 22 and 154. So the GCF of 22 and 154 is 22.

Kunal is making baskets full of nuts and dried fruits. He has 22 bags of nuts and 154 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 22 and 154. So the GCF of 22 and 154 is 22.

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 22 bus tickets and 154 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 22 and 154. Hence, GCF of 22 and 154 is 22.
