Vocabulary greatest common factor (GCF)

Factors shared by two or more whole numbers are called common factors 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: Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 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.

Additional Example 1A: Finding the GCF Find the GCF of the set of numbers. 28 and 42 Method 1: List the factors. factors of 28: factors of 42: List all the factors. 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42 Circle the GCF. The GCF of 28 and 42 is 14.

Additional Example 1B: Finding the GCF Find the GCF of the set of numbers. 18, 30, and 24 Method 2: Use the prime factorization. 18 = 30 = 24 = 2 • 3 • 3 Write the prime factorization of each number. 2 • 3 • 5 2 • 3 • 2 • 2 Find the common prime factors. Find the prime factors common to all the numbers. 2 • 3 = 6 The GCF of 18, 30, and 24 is 6.

Additional Example 1C: Finding the GCF Find the GCF of the set of numbers. 45, 18, and 27 Method 3: Use a ladder diagram. 3 45 18 27 Begin with a factor that divides into each number. Keep dividing until the three have no common factors. 3 15 6 9 5 2 3 Find the product of the numbers you divided by. 3 • 3 = 9 The GCF of 45, 18, and 27 is 9.
