GCF is represented as GCF (28, 60).</p> props: <li>The GCF of two or more given numbers cannot be greater than any of the given number. Eg- GCF of 28 and 60 is 4, where 4 is less than both 28 and 60.</li><li>GCF of two consecutive numbers is always 1.</li><li>The product of GCF and LCM of two given numbers is equal to the product of two numbers.</li><li>The GCF of two given numbers where one of them is a prime number is either 1 or the number itself.</li> factorsdef: <h4 class="mt-3 heading">What is the definition of factors?</h4><p>In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.</p> factorsprops: <li>Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 28 and 60 are factors of themselves respectively.</li><li>1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 28 and also of 60.</li><li>Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 28 x 0 = 0 and 60 x 0 = 0.</li><li>Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.</li><li>Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28 are exact divisors of 28 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60 are exact divisors of 60.</li><li>Factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28. Each factor divides 28 without leaving a remainder.
Simlarly, factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60. Each factor divides 60 without leaving a remainder.</li><li>Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28 are all less than or equal to 28 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60 are all less than or equal to 60.</li> examples: <div class="example-box">Sammy baked 28 chocolate cookies and 60 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?<p>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 28 and 60.
GCF of 28 and 60 is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">A class has 28 boys and 60 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?<p>To find the greatest number of students that could be in each row, we need to find the GCF of 28 and 60. Hence, GCF of 28 and 60 is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">What is the relation between LCM and GCF (Greatest Common Factor)?<p>GCF and LCM of two numbers can be related as GCF(28, 60) = ( 28 * 60 ) / LCM(28, 60) = 4. </p></div><div class="example-box">What is the GCF of 28 and 60?<p>GCF of 28 and 60 is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">Ram has 28 cans of Pepsi and 60 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?<p>To find the greatest number of tables that Ram can stock we need to find the GCF of 28 and 60. Hence GCF of 28 and 60 is 4. So the number of tables that can be arranged is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">Mary has 28 blue buttons and 60 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?<p>Greatest possible way in which Mary can arrange them in groups would be GCF of 28 and 60. Hence, the GCF of 28 and 60 or the greatest arrangement is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">Kamal is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. He has 28 maroon balloons, and 60 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?<p>The greatest number of arrangements that he can make if every balloon is used would be equal to GCF of 28 and 60. So the GCF of 28 and 60 is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">Kunal is making baskets full of nuts and dried fruits. He has 28 bags of nuts and 60 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?<p>the greatest number of baskets that Kunal can make would be equal to GCF of 28 and 60. So the GCF of 28 and 60 is 4.</p></div><div class="example-box">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 28 bus tickets and 60 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?<p>To make the greatest number of envelopes Abir needs to find out the GCF of 28 and 60. Hence, GCF of 28 and 60 is 4.</p></div> uservisited: <li> GCF of 1920 and 1080 </li><li> GCF of 132 and 150 </li><li> GCF of 147 and 245 </li><li> GCF of 25 and 35 </li><li> GCF of 245 and 343 </li><li> GCF of 72 and 120 </li><li> GCF of 54 and 108 </li><li> GCF of 56 and 72 </li><li> GCF of 26 and 33 </li><li> GCF of 42 and 66 </li><li> GCF of 27 and 45 </li><li> GCF of 117 and 130 </li><li> GCF of 31 and 35 </li><li> GCF of 48 and 80 </li><li> GCF of 21 and 30 </li><li> GCF of 38 and 48 </li><li> GCF of 32 and 39 </li><li> GCF of 25 and 40 </li><li> GCF of 420 and 630 </li><li> GCF of 40 and 700 </li><li> GCF of 35 and 63 </li><li> GCF of 25 and 35 </li><li> GCF of 13 and 25 </li><li> GCF of 39 and 52 </li><li> GCF of 24 and 60 </li> —–
