Method 1:
\List the factors of each number.
\Factors of 54 : 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
\Factors of 89 : 89
\Identify the greatest common factor.
\There are no common prime factors.Two numbers always have 1 as a common factor.
\So, the greatest common factor is 1
Method 2:
\Write the prime factorization of each number.
\54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3.
\89 = 89.
\There are no common prime factors.Two numbers always have 1 as a common factor.
\So, the greatest common factor is 1.
There are no common prime factors.Two numbers always have 1 as a common factor. So, the greatest common factor is 1.
