1. Write out their prime factorizations. 2. Determine which prime factors are shared by all 3 numbers. 3. Multiply them together. 4. That product is the gcf.
For example, the gcf of 84, 126, and 686 is 14 because
1. 84=2x2x3x7
126=2x3x3x7
686=2x7x7x7
2. All three numbers share 2 and 7 as common prime factors.
3. 2x7=14
4. 14 is the gcf
The GCF for those three numbers is.... 1 !
18, 27, 45
9, 18 and 27
the answer is 45 60 and 90
factor all three then use the prime numbers that are in all three. 36=2x2x3x3 48=2x2x2x2x3 2x2x3=12 the gcf
The GCF of these three numbers is 5.
The GCF of all three numbers is 20 !
The gcf of the given three numbers is 1
15, 30 and 45 have a GCF of 15.
The GCF of the given three numbers is 23
The GCF of the given three numbers is 1
The GCF of the given three numbers is 1
The GCF of the given three numbers is 14
The GCF of the given three numbers is 1
The GCF of the given three numbers is 1
The GCF of the given three numbers is 7
The GCF of the given three numbers is 5
