It is 3
The greatest common factor (GCF) is 3.
To find the GCF of two (or more) numbers, factor them , and see which numbers are common to both strings of numbers, and reduce the 'string' to '1'. Hence 2)42 3)21 7)7 = 1 & 2)72 2)36 2)18 3)9 3)3 = 1 Hence one lot of '2' is common to both numbers. Similarly one lot of '3' is common to both numbers. Hence 2 x 3 = 6 is the GCF of '42' & '72'. NB THe other 2's and the '3' and '7' are NOT common factors as they do NOT appear in both strings of numbers.
The greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. To find the GCF of 6 and 21, you can list the factors of each number and identify the largest factor they have in common. The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6, while the factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, and 21. The greatest common factor of 6 and 21 is 3.
the greatest common factor of 6 an 21 is 3 because 6's factors are 1,2, 3and 6 and 21's is 1,3,7, and 21. So the greatest one of those is 3.Yo its 3 :D
