Greatest Common Factor of 200 and 97

GCF(200, 97) = 1, Greatest common factor of 200 and 97 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 200 and 97. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.

Greatest Common Factor of 200 and 97 by prime factorization method

We will first find the prime factorization of 200 and 97.
Prime Factorization of 200 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 and Prime Factorization of 97 is 1, 97.

  • Factorize\( (200) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\times 5\)
  • Factorize\( (97) = \) \(1\times 97\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(200, 97) = 1\times 1 = 1\).

Greatest Common Factor of 200 and 97 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 97 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 97
As you can see, 1 is the greatest and common number that 200 and 97 divides into.
