It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
1 is a factor of every nonzero number, so 42 would have it in common with any other number.
Find the highest factor of the smallest of the numbers and divide it into the highest number, if it goes in exactly that's your answer?
A factor is a divisor - a number that will evenly divide into another number. 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 63 are 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, and 63. The common factors are 1, 3, 7, and 21.
You write down all of both number's factors and find the biggest number that they share. or Example: 30 and 42 Factor them. 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Select the common factors. 2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
