Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 115
GCF(24, 115) = 1, Greatest common factor of 24 and 115 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 24 and 115. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 115 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 24 and 115.
Prime Factorization of 24 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 3 and Prime Factorization of 115 is 1, 5, 23.
- Factorize\( (24) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\)
- Factorize\( (115) = \) \(1\times 5\times 23\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(24, 115) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 115 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 24 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
List of positive integers factors of 115 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 5, 23, 115
As you can see, 1 is the greatest and common number that 24 and 115 divides into.
So the greatest common factor 24 and 115 is 1.
\(GCF(24, 115) = 1\).
