Find the greatest common factor from the list of factors for 33 and 38, and read off the answer!

Example: Find gcf of 33 and 38

Factors for 33: 1, 3, 11, 33
Factors for 38: 1, 2, 19, 38

Hence, GCf of 33 and 38 is 1

What does GCF mean in mathematics?

Greatest Common Fcator (GCF) or also sometimes written as greates common divisor is the largest number that can evenly divide the given two numbers. GCF is represented as GCF (33, 38).

Properties of GCF

The GCF of two or more given numbers is always less than the given numbers. Eg- GCF of 33 and 38 is 1, where 1 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 is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. 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, 3, 11, 33 are exact divisors of 33 and 1, 2, 19, 38 are exact divisors of 38.
Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 33 and 38 are factors of themselves respectively.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 33 and also of 38.

Steps to find Factors of 33 and 38

Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 33 and 38 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 16 (half of 33) and 1 upto 19 (half of 38). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.

33 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

38 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

33 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

38 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

33 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0

38 ÷ 19 : Remainder = 0

33 ÷ 33 : Remainder = 0

38 ÷ 38 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 33 are 1, 3, 11, and 33

And, Factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, and 38

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(33, 38) = ( 33 * 38 ) / LCM(33, 38) = 1.

What is the GCF of 33 and 38?

GCF of 33 and 38 is 1.

Ram has 33 cans of Pepsi and 38 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 33 and 38. Hence GCF of 33 and 38 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 33 pizzas and 38 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 33 and 38. Thus GCF of 33 and 38 is 1.

Ariel is making ready to eat meals to share with friends. She has 33 bottles of water and 38 cans of food, which she would like to distribute equally, with no left overs. What is the greatest number of boxes Ariel can make?
