GCF of 6 and 35 by Prime Factorization

Prime factorization of 6 and 35 is (2 × 3) and (5 × 7) respectively. As visible, there are no common prime factors between 6 and 35, i.e. they are coprime. Hence, the GCF of 6 and 35 will be 1.

GCF of 6 and 35 by Long Division

GCF of 6 and 35 is the divisor that we get when the remainder becomes 0 after doing long division repeatedly.

Step 1: Divide 35 (larger number) by 6 (smaller number).
Step 2: Since the remainder ≠ 0, we will divide the divisor of step 1 (6) by the remainder (5).
Step 3: Repeat this process until the remainder = 0.

The corresponding divisor (1) is the GCF of 6 and 35.

GCF of 6 and 35 by Listing Common Factors

Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6
Factors of 35: 1, 5, 7, 35

GCF of 6 and 35 Examples

Example 1: For two numbers, GCF = 1 and LCM = 210. If one number is 35, find the other number.

Solution:

Given: GCF (x, 35) = 1 and LCM (x, 35) = 210
∵ GCF × LCM = 35 × (x)
⇒ x = (GCF × LCM)/35
⇒ x = (1 × 210)/35
⇒ x = 6
Therefore, the other number is 6.
Example 2: Find the greatest number that divides 6 and 35 exactly.

Solution:

The greatest number that divides 6 and 35 exactly is their greatest common factor, i.e. GCF of 6 and 35.
⇒ Factors of 6 and 35:
- Factors of 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6
- Factors of 35 = 1, 5, 7, 35
Therefore, the GCF of 6 and 35 is 1.
Example 3: Find the GCF of 6 and 35, if their LCM is 210.

Solution:

∵ LCM × GCF = 6 × 35
⇒ GCF(6, 35) = (6 × 35)/210 = 1
Therefore, the greatest common factor of 6 and 35 is 1.
