Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation: To find the greatest common factor or <em>GCF</em> of 50 and 40, we begin by finding all of the factors of each number.

To find the factors of 50, we know that 50 ÷ 1 is 50 so 1 and 50 are factors.

50 ÷ 2 is 25 so 2 and 25 are factors.

We can't divide 50 evenly by 3 or 4 so we know they aren't factors.

50 ÷ 5 = 10 so 5 and 10 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide 50 by 6, 7, 8, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50.

Now let's find the factors of 40.

40 ÷ 1 is 40 so 1 and 40 are factors.

40 ÷ 2 is 20 so 2 and 20 are factors.

We can't divide 40 evenly by 3.

40 ÷ 4 is 10 so 4 and 10 are factors.

40 ÷ 5 is 8 so 5 and 8 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide by 6, 7, 8, and so on, we won't find any new factors.

So the factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40

Now that we have our list of factors, to find the greatest common factor, we simply find the largest number that is shared by the two lists.

Factors of 50 - 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50

Factors of 40 - 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40

Notice that both lists have a 50 as a factor and there is nothing larger than 50 that appears in both lists. So the greatest common factor of 50 and 40 is 10.

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

40=2 x 2 x 2 x 5

50=2 x 5 x 5

therefore, GFC = 2x5

GFC= 10

Given that El bisects ZCEA, which statements must be
Alexxx [7]

Question: Given that BE bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select THREE options.

(See attachment below for the figure)

m∠CEA = 90°

m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF

m∠CEB = 2(m∠CEA)

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle.

Answer:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Line AE is perpendicular to line CF, which is a straight line. This creates two right angles, <CEA and <AEF.

Angle on a straight line = 180°. Therefore, m<CEA + m<AEF = m<CEF. Each right angle measures 90°.

Thus, the three statements that must be TRUE are:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle
