    and

    What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 15 and 40?

    Answer

    GCF of 15 and 40 is
    5

    (Five)

    Finding GCF for 15 and 40 using all factors (divisors) listing

    The first method to find GCF for numbers 15 and 40 is to list all factors for both numbers and pick the highest common one:

    All factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15

    All factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

    So the Greatest Common Factor for 15 and 40 is 5

    Finding GCF for 15 and 40 by Prime Factorization

    The second method to find GCF for numbers 15 and 40 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the common ones:

    All Prime Factors of 15: 3, 5

    All Prime Factors of 40: 2, 2, 2, 5

    As we can see there is only one Prime Factor common to both numbers. It is 5

    So 5 is the Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 40
