<p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 35 and 49 is 7. The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the numbers. 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>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>First, divide the larger number by the smaller number Here, divide 49 by 35 49 ÷ 35 = 1 (<a>quotient</a>), The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 49 - (35 × 1) = 14 The remainder is 14, not zero, so continue the process</p>

31
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (35) by the previous remainder (14) Divide 35 by 14 35 ÷ 14 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 35 - (14 × 2) = 7 The remainder is 7, not zero, so continue the process</p>
30
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (35) by the previous remainder (14) Divide 35 by 14 35 ÷ 14 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 35 - (14 × 2) = 7 The remainder is 7, not zero, so continue the process</p>
32
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (14) by the previous remainder (7) Divide 14 by 7 14 ÷ 7 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 14 - (7 × 2) = 0</p>
31
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (14) by the previous remainder (7) Divide 14 by 7 14 ÷ 7 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 14 - (7 × 2) = 0</p>
33
<p>The remainder is zero, the divisor will become the GCF. The GCF of 35 and 49 is 7.</p>
