It is: 6
252 is the LCM
The greatest common factor of 42 depends upon the other numbers with which 42 has COMMON factors. However, the greatest common factor HAS to be one of the factors of 42 which are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42.
2 (It will equal 36 though)
42
The greatest common factor (GCF) is often also called the greatest common divisor (GCD) or highest common factor (HCF). Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the largest integer which evenly divides two or more numbers.The greatest common factor of 36 and 216 is 36
Numbers that can go into 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42.
The only whole number that can go in both 5 and 42 is 1 since these numbers are co-prime.
2 x 3 x 3 x 7 = 126 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 588 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 42 is the largest (greatest) number that can go into both (common) numbers equally.
The greatest common factor is the highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers.42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 4298: 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98The GCF of 42 and 98 is 14.If you're not a good guesser the best way to go about doing this is to list all the factors of each number, like so:42-- 98--1 12 23 76 147142142Well, I did not list all the factors of 98, but I know that since 98 is not divisible by 21 or 42 that the greatest common factor is 14.Answer: 14
No 36 / 8 = 4.5 (Not a whole number, therefore 8 does not go into 36)
