Greatest Common Factor of 320 and 695
GCF(320, 695) = 5, Greatest common factor of 320 and 695 is 5. 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 320 and 695. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 320 and 695 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 320 and 695.
Prime Factorization of 320 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5 and Prime Factorization of 695 is 1, 5, 139.
- Factorize\( (320) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\)
- Factorize\( (695) = \) \(1\times 5\times 139\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 5) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(320, 695) = 1\times 5 = 5\).
Greatest Common Factor of 320 and 695 by matching factors method
