Find the factors of all three numbers and then find the largest number that is in each list:
i.e. the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.
So for example, to find the greatest common factor of 21, 28 and 42, find the factors of each:
Factors of 21 are 1,3,7,21
Factors of 28 are 1,2,4,7,14,28
Factors of 42 are 1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
The highest number that is in all three lists is 7. Therefore, 7 is the greatest common factor.
Note: A factor is a number that divides evenly into the number. So, 2 divides evenly into 8 so 2 is a factor of 8. 3 divides evenly into 9 so 3 is a factor of 9, etc.
The GCF is 6.
the greatest common factor of 18 24 and 36 is 6 GLAD I COULD HELP
The GCF is 3.
The GCF of 18 and 36 is 18.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 6.
6 + 36
6 and 72 respectively
It would be 18.
The GCF is 18.
The GCF is 6.
