Greatest Common Factor of 200 and 330
GCF(200, 330) = 10, Greatest common factor of 200 and 330 is 10. 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 200 and 330. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 200 and 330 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 200 and 330.
Prime Factorization of 200 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 and Prime Factorization of 330 is 1, 2, 3, 5, 11.
- Factorize\( (200) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\times 5\)
- Factorize\( (330) = \) \(1\times 2\times 3\times 5\times 11\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 2, 5) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(200, 330) = 1\times 2\times 5 = 10\).
Greatest Common Factor of 200 and 330 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 200 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200
List of positive integers factors of 330 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165, 330
