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 (245, 1029).

Properties of GCF

The GCF of two or more given numbers is always less than the given numbers. Eg- GCF of 245 and 1029 is 49, where 49 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, 35, 49, 245 are exact divisors of 245 and 1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147, 343, 1029 are exact divisors of 1029.
Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 245 and 1029 are factors of themselves respectively.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 245 and also of 1029.

Steps to find Factors of 245 and 1029

Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 245 and 1029 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 122 (half of 245) and 1 upto 514 (half of 1029). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.

245 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

245 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

245 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

245 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 21 : Remainder = 0

245 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0

245 ÷ 245 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 147 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 343 : Remainder = 0

1029 ÷ 1029 : Remainder = 0

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

And, Factors of 1029 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147, 343, and 1029

Examples of GCF

A class has 245 boys and 1029 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 245 and 1029. Hence, GCF of 245 and 1029 is 49.

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(245, 1029) = ( 245 * 1029 ) / LCM(245, 1029) = 49.

What is the GCF of 245 and 1029?

GCF of 245 and 1029 is 49.

Ram has 245 cans of Pepsi and 1029 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 245 and 1029. Hence GCF of 245 and 1029 is 49. So the number of tables that can be arranged is 49.
