The gcf of numbers can never be greater than both numbers, because in order to be a gcf, it must be a factor that both numbers have, so if one number does not have that then it is not a gcf.

Answer:

No, G.C.F. of pair of numbers can never be greater than both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

G.C.F. (Greatest Common Factor) of pair of numbers is defined as the greatest factor of both the number that exactly divides both numbers.

For Example: G.C.F. of 14 and 21 =

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common Factors of 36 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

∴ G.C.F. = 12

As, we see that G.C.F. is factor of given number. So, it can never be greater than given numbers.

It is easier to convert larger unit to smaller, therefore;

1 cm = 10 mm

19 cm = 10*10 = 100 mm

Ratio;

Colored fabric : White fabric

11 : 100

The simplest form of ratio of colored fabric to white fabric is 11:100
