Greatest Common Factor of 64 and 350
GCF(64, 350) = 2, Greatest common factor of 64 and 350 is 2. 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 64 and 350. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 64 and 350 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 64 and 350.
Prime Factorization of 64 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 and Prime Factorization of 350 is 1, 2, 5, 5, 7.
- Factorize\( (64) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\)
- Factorize\( (350) = \) \(1\times 2\times 5\times 5\times 7\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 2) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(64, 350) = 1\times 2 = 2\).
Greatest Common Factor of 64 and 350 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 64 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
List of positive integers factors of 350 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 25, 35, 50, 70, 175, 350
