How do you explain GCF in mathematics?

GCF or greatest common factor of two or more numbers is defined as largest possible number or integer which is the factor of all given number or in other words we can say that largest possible common number which completely divides the given numbers. GCF of two numbers can be represented as GCF (44489, 26398).

Properties of GCF

  • The GCF of two or more given numbers is always less than the given numbers. Eg- GCF of 44489 and 26398 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.

How can we define factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive of negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 17, 2617, 44489 are exact divisors of 44489 and 1, 2, 67, 134, 197, 394, 13199, 26398 are exact divisors of 26398.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 44489 and 26398 are factors of themselves respectively.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 44489 and also of 26398.

Steps to find Factors of 44489 and 26398

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 44489 and 26398 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 22244 (half of 44489) and 1 upto 13199 (half of 26398). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    44489 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    44489 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    44489 ÷ 2617 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 67 : Remainder = 0
    44489 ÷ 44489 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 134 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 197 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 394 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 13199 : Remainder = 0
    26398 ÷ 26398 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 44489 are 1, 17, 2617, and 44489

And, Factors of 26398 are 1, 2, 67, 134, 197, 394, 13199, and 26398

Examples of GCF

A class has 44489 boys and 26398 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 44489 and 26398. Hence, GCF of 44489 and 26398 is 1.

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(44489, 26398) = ( 44489 * 26398 ) / LCM(44489, 26398) = 1.

What is the GCF of 44489 and 26398?
