Sure! Let’s solve each problem by finding the
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) — the largest number that divides both numbers in each pair evenly.
We’ll go one by one, and I’ll explain how to find the GCF using
prime factorization or
listing factors, whichever is easiest.
---
1. GCF(40, 55)
- Factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
- Factors of 55: 1, 5, 11, 55
→ Common factors: 1, 5
→
GCF = 5
---
2. GCF(33, 44)
- 33 = 3 × 11
- 44 = 4 × 11 = 2² × 11
→ Common prime factor: 11
→
GCF = 11
---
3. GCF(30, 25)
- 30 = 2 × 3 × 5
- 25 = 5 × 5
→ Common prime factor: 5
→
GCF = 5
---
4. GCF(40, 18)
- 40 = 2³ × 5
- 18 = 2 × 3²
→ Common prime factor: 2
→
GCF = 2
---
5. GCF(20, 75)
- 20 = 2² × 5
- 75 = 3 × 5²
→ Common prime factor: 5
→
GCF = 5
---
6. GCF(12, 45)
- 12 = 2² × 3
- 45 = 3² × 5
→ Common prime factor: 3
→
GCF = 3
---
7. GCF(24, 9)
- 24 = 2³ × 3
- 9 = 3²
→ Common prime factor: 3
→
GCF = 3
---
8. GCF(45, 20)
- 45 = 3² × 5
- 20 = 2² × 5
→ Common prime factor: 5
→
GCF = 5
---
9. GCF(36, 18)
- 36 = 2² × 3²
- 18 = 2 × 3²
→ Common prime factors: 2¹ × 3² → 2 × 9 = 18
→
GCF = 18
*(Note: Since 18 divides 36 evenly, the GCF is just 18.)*
---
10. GCF(25, 35)
- 25 = 5²
- 35 = 5 × 7
→ Common prime factor: 5
→
GCF = 5

## 📝 Tip for Finding GCF:
-
List all factors of both numbers and pick the largest common one.
- Or use
prime factorization: break each number into primes, then multiply the
common primes with the lowest exponent.
