Answer:

Find the LCM

The LCM of

0,5 is 5.

Greatest common divisor is the largest number which divides two given numbers say 'a' & 'b'

Now let's say a=0 and b= 5

We know that: anything × 0 =0

Therefore 0÷5=0

In other words 5 is a divisor of 0

and 5 is the largest number which divides 5...

Therefore 5 is the greatest common divisor of of 0 and 5Or gcd(5,0)=5

Common divisors of 0 and 5 = 1,5 [0=1*0 ; 5=1*5] and [0=5*0 ; 5=5*1]

Explanation:

Hope it is helpful....

Answer: Factor of 0

For example, 5 × 0 = 0 so it is true that 0 ÷ 5 = 0. In this example, 5 and 0 are factors of 0. GCF(5,0) = 5 and more generally GCF(k,0) = k for any whole number k. However, GCF(0, 0) is undefined.
