3 <p>The GCF is the largest number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving any remainder. GCF is used to share the items equally, to group or arrange items, and schedule events. In this topic, we will learn about the GCF of 60 and 64.</p>

4 <h2>What is the GCF of 60 and 64?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 60 and 64 is 4. The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the numbers.</p>

6 <p>If two numbers are co-prime, they have no common factors other than 1, so their GCF is 1.</p>

7 <p>The GCF of two numbers cannot be negative because divisors are always positive.</p>

8 <h2>How to find the GCF of 60 and 64?</h2>

9 <p>To find the GCF of 60 and 64, a few methods are described below:</p>

10 <ol><li>Listing Factors</li>

11 <li>Prime Factorization</li>

12 <li>Long Division Method / by Euclidean Algorithm</li>

13 </ol><h2>GCF of 60 and 64 by Using Listing of Factors</h2>

14 <p>Steps to find the GCF of 60 and 64 using the listing of<a>factors</a>:</p>

15 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Firstly, list the factors of each number</p>

16 <p>Factors of 60 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.</p>

31 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>First, divide the larger number by the smaller number</p>

33 <p>Here, divide 64 by 60 64 ÷ 60 = 1 (<a>quotient</a>), The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 64 - (60×1) = 4</p>

32 <p>Here, divide 64 by 60 64 ÷ 60 = 1 (<a>quotient</a>), The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 64 - (60×1) = 4</p>

34 <p>The remainder is 4, not zero, so continue the process</p>

33 <p>The remainder is 4, not zero, so continue the process</p>

35 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (60) by the previous remainder (4) Divide 60 by 4 60 ÷ 4 = 15 (quotient), remainder = 60 - (4×15) = 0</p>

34 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (60) by the previous remainder (4) Divide 60 by 4 60 ÷ 4 = 15 (quotient), remainder = 60 - (4×15) = 0</p>

36 <p>The remainder is zero, so the divisor becomes the GCF. The GCF of 60 and 64 is 4.</p>
