Greatest Common Factor of 13 and 145
GCF(13, 145) = 1, Greatest common factor of 13 and 145 is 1. Greatest Common Factor or Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is the largest integer by which both the numbers can be divided. There are two different methods to calculate Greatest Common Factor of 13 and 145. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 13 and 145 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 13 and 145.
Prime Factorization of 13 is 1, 13 and Prime Factorization of 145 is 1, 5, 29.
- Factorize\( (13) = \) \(1\times 13\)
- Factorize\( (145) = \) \(1\times 5\times 29\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(13, 145) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 13 and 145 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 13 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 13
List of positive integers factors of 145 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 5, 29, 145
