Correct Answer:
"6"
You answered this question correctly!
Explanation
The greatest common factor of two or more whole numbers is the largest whole number that divides evenly into each of the numbers. We'll work this out by writing the factors of 30, 42 and 48:
Factors of 30
The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 42
The factors of 42 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Factors of 48
The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
By looking at the lists, we can see that the greatest common factor of 30, 42 and 48 is 6.
The GCF of 42, 30, and 60 is 6.
HCF(30, 36, 42) = 6 LCM(30, 36, 42) = 1260
The GCF is 6.
The Greatest Common Factor of 44, 42, 3: 1
the only factor (divisor) between 30 and 64 are 2, this is also a factor of 42 & 196 working upwards: 1 is always a factor of integers 2 is a factor of all even numbers 3 is a factor of 30 & 42, but not 64 or 196 4 is a factor of 64 & 196, but not 30 or 42 5 is a factor of 30, but not the others 6 is a factor of 30 & 42, but not 64 or 196 7 is a factor of 42, but not the others 8 is a factor of 64, but not the others 9 is not a factor of any of the numbers 10 is a factor of 30, but not the others I could continue, but it gets worse from there, with only occasional numbers being factors...
The least common factor of 30 and 42 is the smallest number that is a factor of both of them and is 1.However, I suspect that you mean either:What is the highest common factor of 30 and 42?ie what is the highest number that is a factor of both 30 and 42: hcf = 6;What is the lowest common multiple of 30 and 42?ie that is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 30 and 42 lcm = 210.
Greatest common factor of 9 30 and 42 is 3.
The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6.
It is 1 but the highest common factor is 6
The GCF of 42, 30, and 60 is 6.
The GCF of 4, 30 and 42 is 2.
6
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is: 6
The lowest common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The GCF is 6.
The GCF is 2.
The GCF of 12, 30, and 42 is 6.
