Greatest Common Factor Course 2 2-5 Greatest Common Factor The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more whole numbers is the greatest whole number that divides evenly into each number. One way to find the GCF of two or more numbers is to list all the factors of each number. The GCF is the greatest factor that appears in all the lists.

Additional Example 1: Using a List to Find the GCF Course 2 2-5 Greatest Common Factor Additional Example 1: Using a List to Find the GCF Find the greatest common factor (GCF). 12, 36, 54 List all of the factors of each number. 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 Circle the greatest factor that is in all the lists. 54: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54 The GCF is 6.

Additional Example 3: Problem Solving Application Course 2 2-5 Greatest Common Factor Additional Example 3: Problem Solving Application You have 120 red beads, 100 white beads, and 45 blue beads. You want to use all the beads to make bracelets that have red, white, and blue beads on each. What is the greatest number of matching bracelets you can make?

Understand the Problem Course 2 2-5 Greatest Common Factor Additional Example 3 Continued 1 Understand the Problem Rewrite the question as a statement. • Find the greatest number of matching bracelets you can make. List the important information: • There are 120 red beads, 100 white beads, and 45 blue beads. • Each bracelet must have the same number of red, white, and blue beads. The answer will be the GCF of 120, 100, and 45.

Additional Example 3 Continued Course 2 2-5 Greatest Common Factor Additional Example 3 Continued 2 Make a Plan You can list the prime factors of 120, 100, and 45 to find the GFC. Solve 3 120 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 5 100 = 2 · 2 · 5 · 5 45 = 3 · 3 · 5 The GFC of 120, 100, and 45 is 5. You can make 5 bracelets.

Additional Example 3 Continued Course 2 2-5 Greatest Common Factor Additional Example 3 Continued Look Back 4 If you make 5 bracelets, each one will have 24 red beads, 20 white beads, and 9 blue beads, with nothing left over.
