Find all the numbers that would divide 41 and 82 without leaving any remainder as explained in factors below.
Find the greatest common factor from the list of factors for 41 and 82, and read off the answer!

Example: Find gcf of 41 and 82

Factors for 41: 1, 41
Factors for 82: 1, 2, 41, 82

Hence, GCf of 41 and 82 is 41

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 (41, 82).

Properties of GCF

The GCF of two or more given numbers is always less than the given numbers. Eg- GCF of 41 and 82 is 41, where 41 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, 41 are exact divisors of 41 and 1, 2, 41, 82 are exact divisors of 82.
Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 41 and 82 are factors of themselves respectively.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 41 and also of 82.

Steps to find Factors of 41 and 82

Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 41 and 82 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 20 (half of 41) and 1 upto 41 (half of 82). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.

41 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

82 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

41 ÷ 41 : Remainder = 0

82 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

82 ÷ 41 : Remainder = 0

82 ÷ 82 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 41 are 1 and 41

And, Factors of 82 are 1, 2, 41, and 82

Examples of GCF

Sammy baked 41 chocolate cookies and 82 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 41 and 82.
GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.

A class has 41 boys and 82 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 41 and 82. Hence, GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.

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

GCF and LCM of two numbers can be related as GCF(41, 82) = ( 41 * 82 ) / LCM(41, 82) = 41.

What is the GCF of 41 and 82?

GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.

Ram has 41 cans of Pepsi and 82 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 41 and 82. Hence GCF of 41 and 82 is 41. So the number of tables that can be arranged is 41.

Rubel is creating individual servings of starters for her birthday party. He has 41 pizzas and 82 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 41 and 82. Thus GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.

Ariel is making ready to eat meals to share with friends. She has 41 bottles of water and 82 cans of food, which she would like to distribute equally, with no left overs. What is the greatest number of boxes Ariel can make?

The greatest number of boxes Ariel can make would be equal to GCF of 41 and 82. So the GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.

Kamal is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. He has 41 maroon balloons, and 82 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 41 and 82. So the GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.

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 41 bus tickets and 82 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 41 and 82. Hence, GCF of 41 and 82 is 41.
