What is the GCF of 35 and 49?

Answer 1

Everly Taylor

#7#

The following is a straightforward, if occasionally slow, method for determining the GCF of two positive numbers:

The GCF is equal to the two numbers if they are equal.

If not, substitute the smaller number's value for the larger one after subtracting it.

In our illustration:

Start with #35# and #49#

Since they are unequal, subtract #35# from #49#, getting #14#

Our two numbers #35# and #14# are unequal, so replace #35# with #35-14 = 21#.

#21# and #14# are unequal, so replace #21# with #21-14 = 7#.

#14# and #7# are unequal, so replace #14# with #14-7 = 7#.

#7# and #7# are equal, so they are our GCF.

To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 35 and 49, we need to determine the largest number that divides both 35 and 49 without leaving a remainder.

The factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, and 35. The factors of 49 are 1, 7, and 49.

The common factors of 35 and 49 are 1 and 7.

Therefore, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 35 and 49 is 7.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
