Section 4.2 “Greatest Common Factor”
Greatest Common Factor
The LARGEST common factor of two numbers.
Find the GCF of 8 and 12.
List the factors of the two numbers and then compare.
8: 1, 2, 4, 8
12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
From the list you can see that 1, 2, and 4 are common factors.
Of these 4 is the greatest common factor.
Greatest Common Factors
Find the GCF of 180 and 378.
When the numbers are too large to list the factors
of the two numbers, find the prime factorization of each
and then compare.
180: 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 5
378: 2 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 7
From the list you can see that 2, 3, and 3 are common prime
factors. The greatest common factor of 180 and 378 is the
product of 2 · 3 · 3 which is 18.
Greatest Common Factors
Find the GCF of 39 and 50.
When the numbers are too large to list the factors
of the two numbers, find the prime factorization of each
and then compare.
39: 3 · 13
50: 2 · 5 · 5
Relatively Prime:
Two numbers are relatively
prime if their greatest common
factor is 1.
From the list you can see that there are NO common prime
factors. However, two numbers always have 1 as a common
factor. So the GCF is 1 and the two numbers are relatively
prime.
GCF of Variable Expressions
Find the GCF of 12x²y and 6xy³.
Write the prime factorization of each and then compare.
12x²y:
2·2·3·x·x·y
6xy³:
2·3·x·y·y·y
From the list you can see that 2, 3, x, and y are common prime
factors. The greatest common factor is the
product of 2 · 3 · x · y, which is 6xy.
GCF of Variable Expressions
Find the GCF of 18xy² and 28x²y³.
Write the prime factorization of each and then compare.
18xy²:
2·3·3·x·y·y
28x²y³:
2·2·7·x·x·y·y·y
From the list you can see that 2, x, y, and y are common prime
factors. The greatest common factor is the
product of 2 · x · y · y, which is 2xy².
Greatest Common Factors
Find the GCF of 12x²y, 18xy³, and 30x²y³.
List the factors of the three numbers and then compare.
12x²y:
2·2·3·x·x·y
18xy³:
2·3·3·x·y·y·y
30x²y³: 2 · 3 · 5 · x · x · y · y · y
From the list you can see that 2, 3, x, and y are common prime
factors. The greatest common factor is the
product of 2 · 3 · x · y, which is 6xy.
Greatest Common Factors
Find the GCF of 48a²b, 64ab³, and 80a²b³.
48a²b :
2·2·2·2·3·a·a·b
64ab³ :
2·2·2·2·2·2·a·b·b·b
80a²b³ : 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 5 · a · a · b · b · b
From the list you can see that 2, 2, 2, 2, a, and b are common
prime factors. The greatest common factor is the
product of 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · a · b which is 16ab.
