4-2 Greatest Common Factor
I can find the greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers.
4-2 Greatest Common Factor
Vocabulary
greatest common factor (GCF)
4-2 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:
Common factors:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,
1, 2, 3, 4, 6,
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 24 and 36 is 12.
Example 1 shows three different methods for finding the GCF.
