Oh, what a lovely question! Finding the Highest Common Factor (HCF) is like finding the common thread that ties these numbers together. If we look at 36, 42, and 54, we can see that the largest number that divides them all evenly is 6. So, the HCF for 36, 42, and 54 is 6. Just like how different colors blend together to create a beautiful painting, these numbers come together harmoniously with 6 as their HCF.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 6.
The GCF is 6.
hcf(12, 36, 42) = 6 12 = 22 x 3 36 = 22 x 32 42 = 2 x 3 x 7 hcf = 2 x 3 = 6
Highest common factor of 36, 42, and 54 is 6.
The GCF is 18.

The GCF is 6.
The GCF is 6.

The GCF of 36, 42, and 54 is 6.
6 (leaving 6 and 7 respectively)
hcf(12, 36, 42) = 6 12 = 22 x 3 36 = 22 x 32 42 = 2 x 3 x 7 hcf = 2 x 3 = 6
The GCF is 2.
HCF(30, 36, 42) = 6 LCM(30, 36, 42) = 1260
Highest common factor of 36, 42, and 54 is 6.
18 and 36 do. So do 18 and 54, 36 and 54, 18 and 72, 54 and 72, and an infinite number of other pairs of numbers.
