Question

Find the greatest common factor of 10, 30,10,30,10, comma, 30, comma and 454545.

Answer 1

GCF = 5

Explanation:

Given:

The numbers are given as:

10, 30 and 45

A factor of a number is a number by which the given number is evenly divisible.

Example: 2 is a factor of 4 as
`4/ 2 =2`. So, 4 is evenly divisible by 2 and hence 2 is a factor of 4.

Now, factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5, 10.

Factors of 30 = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30.

Factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45.

So, the greatest common factor in all the three numbers is 5.

Hence, the greatest common factor of 10, 30 and 45 is 5.
