To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 62.5 and 100, we first need to convert both numbers to their simplest form. 62.5 can be written as 62.5 = 625/10 = 125/2, and 100 is already in its simplest form. The GCF of 125 and 200 is 25, so the GCF of 62.5 and 100 is 25.

The concept of factors in general, and GCF in particular, loses all validity as soon as fractions are introduced.

This is because any fraction can be divided without remainder by any other (non-zero) fraction. In this case, for example, the GCF could be 100 which goes into the first number 0.625 times and the second number once. Or it could be 1000 which goes into the first 0.0625 times and the second 0.1 times. Or why not 1 million, or 1 trillion? There is no limit.

The answer is 12.5 since the GCF of 625 and 100 is 125 and the given is 62.5, we just divide 125 by 10 and the answer is 12.5

The GCF refers to integers, not decimals.
