Greatest Common Factor of 80 and 271
GCF(80, 271) = 1, Greatest common factor of 80 and 271 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 80 and 271. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 80 and 271 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 80 and 271.
Prime Factorization of 80 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5 and Prime Factorization of 271 is 1, 271.
- Factorize\( (80) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\)
- Factorize\( (271) = \) \(1\times 271\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(80, 271) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 80 and 271 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 80 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80
List of positive integers factors of 271 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 271
As you can see, 1 is the greatest and common number that 80 and 271 divides into.
So the greatest common factor 80 and 271 is 1.
\(GCF(80, 271) = 1\).
