Greatest Common Factor of 84 and 89
GCF(84, 89) = 1, Greatest common factor of 84 and 89 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 84 and 89. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 84 and 89 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 84 and 89.
Prime Factorization of 84 is 1, 2, 2, 3, 7 and Prime Factorization of 89 is 1, 89.
- Factorize\( (84) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 7\)
- Factorize\( (89) = \) \(1\times 89\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(84, 89) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 84 and 89 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 84 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
List of positive integers factors of 89 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 89
As you can see, 1 is the greatest and common number that 84 and 89 divides into.
So the greatest common factor 84 and 89 is 1.
\(GCF(84, 89) = 1\).
