Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 1423

GCF(1, 1423) = 1, Greatest common factor of 1 and 1423 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 1 and 1423. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.

Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 1423 by prime factorization method

We will first find the prime factorization of 1 and 1423.
Prime Factorization of 1 is 1, 1 and Prime Factorization of 1423 is 1, 1423.

  • Factorize\( (1) = \) \(1\times 1\)
  • Factorize\( (1423) = \) \(1\times 1423\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(1, 1423) = 1\times 1 = 1\).

Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 1423 by matching factors method

List of positive integers factors of 1 leaving a remainder zero is 1
List of positive integers factors of 1423 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 1423
