To find the GCF of 36, 42, and 54, we must find the prime factors of all of the 3 numbers.
36=12*3=4*3*3
42=6*7=2*3*7
54=6*9=2*3*3*3
For the GCF, you must include any number that is a factor of EVERY number in the list, and you write it the least amount of times that it shows up. Only 2 and 3 are factors of all three of the numbers you listed. The least 2 shows up is 1 time, and the least 3 shows up is one time.
So the GCF is 2*3=6
The GCF of 36, 42, and 54 is 6.
The GCF is 6.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 9.
The GCF is 3.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 6.
The GCF is 6.
6 is the GCF for 42 and 54.
gcf(81, 36) = 9 gcf(27, 54) = 27 gcf(81, 36, 27, 54) = 9
The GCF of 7, 42 and 54 is 1.
