greatest common factor (GCF)
Course 1
4-3 Greatest Common Factor
Factors shared by two or more whole numbers
are called common factors. The largest of the
common factors is called the greatest
common factor, or GCF.
Factors of 24:
Factors of 36:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 24 and 36
is 12.
Example 1 shows three different methods for
finding the GCF.
Course 1
4-3 Greatest Common Factor
Additional Example 1A: Finding the GCF
Find the GCF of each set of numbers.
A. 28 and 42
Method 1: List the factors.
factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
List all the factors.
factors of 42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Circle the GCF.
The GCF of 28 and 42 is 14.
Course 1
4-3 Greatest Common Factor
Additional Example 1B: Finding the GCF
Find the GCF of each set of numbers.
B. 18, 30, and 24
Method 2: Use the prime factorization.
18 = 2 • 3 • 3
30 = 2 • 3 • 5
24 = 2 • 3 • 2 • 2
2•3= 6
Write the prime factorization of each
number.
Find the common prime factors.
Find the product of the common
prime factors.
The GCF of 18, 30, and 24 is 6.
