Greatest Common Factor of 300 and 1650
GCF(300, 1650) = 150, Greatest common factor of 300 and 1650 is 150. 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 300 and 1650. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 300 and 1650 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 300 and 1650.
Prime Factorization of 300 is 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 and Prime Factorization of 1650 is 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 11.
- Factorize\( (300) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 5\times 5\)
- Factorize\( (1650) = \) \(1\times 2\times 3\times 5\times 5\times 11\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 2, 3, 5, 5) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(300, 1650) = 1\times 2\times 3\times 5\times 5 = 150\).
Greatest Common Factor of 300 and 1650 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 300 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 300
List of positive integers factors of 1650 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 25, 30, 33, 50, 55, 66, 75, 110, 150, 165, 275, 330, 550, 825, 1650
