Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 976

GCF(1, 976) = 1, Greatest common factor of 1 and 976 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 976. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.

Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 976 by prime factorization method

We will first find the prime factorization of 1 and 976.
Prime Factorization of 1 is 1, 1 and Prime Factorization of 976 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 61.

  • Factorize\( (1) = \) \(1\times 1\)
  • Factorize\( (976) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 61\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(1, 976) = 1\times 1 = 1\).

Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 976 by matching factors method

List of positive integers factors of 1 leaving a remainder zero is 1
List of positive integers factors of 976 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 61, 122, 244, 488, 976
As you can see, 1 is the greatest and common number that 1 and 976 divides into.
So the greatest common factor 1 and 976 is 1.
\(GCF(1, 976) = 1\).
