Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 8562
GCF(1, 8562) = 1, Greatest common factor of 1 and 8562 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 8562. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 8562 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 1 and 8562.
Prime Factorization of 1 is 1, 1 and Prime Factorization of 8562 is 1, 2, 3, 1427.
- Factorize\( (1) = \) \(1\times 1\)
- Factorize\( (8562) = \) \(1\times 2\times 3\times 1427\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(1, 8562) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 8562 by matching factors method
