21. GCF means what is the greatest number that goes into both, and 21*2=42.
21 itself is the greatest common integral factor, since 21 X 2 = 42.
The common factors of 21 and 42 are 3, 7 and 21. The greatest common factor (GCF) is 21.
The GCF is 21.
Since 21 is a factor of 42, it is automatically the GCF.
The GCF is 21.
It is: 21
It is: 21
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 GCF of 42 and 273 is 21. 42 = 2 x 21 273 = 13 x 21
The GCF is of 21, 42, and 84 is 21.
The GCF is 21.
The GCF is 21.
