Can a number have a factor greater than itself?

A factor of a number can at most be equal to the number but not greater than it.

What is the largest possible factor of a number?

The greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers is the largest factor that all the numbers share. For example, 12, 20, and 24 have two common factors: 2 and 4. The largest is 4, so we say that the GCF of 12, 20, and 24 is 4. GCF is often used to find common denominators.

Is a smaller number is always a factor of the greater number?

Property (3): 1 is the smallest factor of every number. 1 is the smallest factor of a multiple and the greatest factor of a multiple is the multiple itself. For example 73 ÷ 1 = 73 so, 73 and 1 are the factors.

Is every number is a factor of itself true or false?

Answer: It is TRUE. Every number is a factor of itself.

Is divisor and factor the same?

Divisor and factors The divisor is any number that divides another number. A factor, however, is a divisor that divides the number entirely and leaves no remainder. So, all factors of a number are its divisors. But not all divisors will be factors.

What are the smallest and the greatest factors for any numbers?

1
The smallest factor and the largest factor of any number is 1 and the number itself.

Can a multiple of a number be greater than the number Yes or no?

Every multiple of a given number is either equal or greater or 0. The multiple is greater when multiplied by any other number expect 1 and 0. And we know any number multiplied by 0 is always 0.

Is GCF always greater than LCM?

The GCF of two numbers is always less then or equal to the lower of the two numbers. That’s because no factors between the two numbers can be the GCF because they are larger than the lower number. The LCM of two numbers is always greater than or equal to the larger of the two numbers.

What number has more than two factors?

A number with more than two factors is called a composite number. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
