Question

What is the gcf for 5 and 25?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

. We are given: 5, 25

The methods to find the GCF of 5 and 25 are explained below.

Using Euclid's Algorithm

Prime Factorization Method

Long Division Method

As per the Euclidean Algorithm, GCF(X, Y) = GCF(Y, X mod Y)

where X > Y and mod is the modulo operator.

Here X = 25 and Y = 5

GCF(25, 5) = GCF(5, 25 mod 5) = GCF(5, 0)

GCF(5, 0) = 5 (∵ GCF(X, 0) = |X|, where X ≠ 0)

Therefore, the value of GCF of 5 and 25 is 5.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

Because the only number that can go into 25 besides 1 is 5 and for 5 1 so your answer for the GCF or greatest common factor is 5.

hope this helps have a great day:)
