NO!!! '7' is a FACTOR of '42'. However, '42' is a multiple of '7'.
There is not a greatest common factor of 42 because there cannot be a greatest common factor without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers being compared have in common. The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42. The prime factors of 42 are 2, 3, and 7. Examples: The greatest common factor of 36 and 42 is 6. The greatest common factor of 42 and 91 is 7. The greatest common factor of 42 and 375 is 3.
The GCF of 42 and 86 is 2. One way to determine the common factors and greatest common factor is to find all the factors of the numbers and compare them. The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42. The factors of 86 are 1, 2, 43, and 86. The common factors are 1 and 2. Therefore, the greatest common factor is 2.
Well, isn't that just a happy little math question? The highest common factor of 12 and 42 is 6. You see, the highest common factor is the largest number that can divide evenly into both 12 and 42, and in this case, that number is 6. Just like adding a touch of titanium white to your painting, finding the highest common factor can bring clarity and harmony to your math problems.
Here are factor trees for 12 and 42: 12 - 2 - 6 - 2 - 3 42 - 2 - 21 - 3 - 7 The leaves in 12's factor tree are: 2, 2, and 3. The leaves in 42's factor tree are: 2, 3, and 7. The longest common sub-sequence of the leaf lists is: 2, 3. Therefore, multiply 2 by 3 and we get that 6 is the gcf of 12 and 42.
42 21,2 7,3,2
Divide the product by the factor you have. 6 x ? = 42 42 ÷ 6 = 7
Use a factor tree. 42 21,2 7,3,2
Since 14 is a factor of 42, it is automatically the GCF.
42 21.2 7,3,2 7,3,2 21,2 42
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Find the prime factorization. It doesn't matter if you use a factor tree, or rainbow or firework. For example: 42 42 21,2 3,7,2 The prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7. The greatest prime factor is 7.
The GCF is 21.
The GCF is 21.
