Greatest Common Factor of 88 and 283
GCF(88, 283) = 1, Greatest common factor of 88 and 283 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 88 and 283. Greatest Common Factor by prime factorization method and Greatest Common Factor by matching factors method.
Greatest Common Factor of 88 and 283 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 88 and 283.
Prime Factorization of 88 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 11 and Prime Factorization of 283 is 1, 283.
- Factorize\( (88) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 11\)
- Factorize\( (283) = \) \(1\times 283\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(88, 283) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 88 and 283 by matching factors method
List of positive integers factors of 88 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88
List of positive integers factors of 283 leaving a remainder zero is 1, 283
