3 <p>The GCF is the largest number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving any remainder. GCF is used to share items equally, group or arrange items, and schedule events. In this topic, we will learn about the GCF of 8 and 30.</p>

4 <h2>What is the GCF of 8 and 30?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 8 and 30 is 2. The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the number.</p>

6 <p>If two numbers are co-prime, they have no common factors other than 1, so their GCF is 1. The GCF of two numbers cannot be negative because divisors are always positive.</p>

7 <h2>How to find the GCF of 8 and 30?</h2>

8 <p>To find the GCF of 8 and 30, a few methods are described below:</p>

9 <ol><li>Listing Factors</li>

24 <p>Find the GCF of 8 and 30 using the<a>division</a>method or Euclidean Algorithm Method. Follow these steps:</p>

26 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>First, divide the larger number by the smaller number Here, divide 30 by 8 30 ÷ 8 = 3 (<a>quotient</a>), The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 30 - (8×3) = 6 The remainder is 6, not zero, so continue the process</p>

27 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (8) by the previous remainder (6) Divide 8 by 6 8 ÷ 6 = 1 (quotient), remainder = 8 - (6×1) = 2 The remainder is 2, not zero, so continue the process</p>

26 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (8) by the previous remainder (6) Divide 8 by 6 8 ÷ 6 = 1 (quotient), remainder = 8 - (6×1) = 2 The remainder is 2, not zero, so continue the process</p>

28 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (6) by the previous remainder (2) Divide 6 by 2 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (quotient), remainder = 6 - (2×3) = 0 The remainder is zero, the divisor will become the GCF. The GCF of 8 and 30 is 2.</p>

27 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (6) by the previous remainder (2) Divide 6 by 2 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (quotient), remainder = 6 - (2×3) = 0 The remainder is zero, the divisor will become the GCF. The GCF of 8 and 30 is 2.</p>
