Find the Greatest common factor
42,60

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 60 is 6.

As the numbers get larger, or you want to compare multiple numbers at the same time to find the GCF, you can see how listing out all of the factors would become too much. To fix this, you can use prime factors.

List out all of the prime factors for each number:

Prime Factors for 42: 2, 3, and 7

Prime Factors for 60: 2, 2, 3, and 5

Now that we have the list of prime factors, we need to find any which are common for each number.

Looking at the occurences of common prime factors in 42 and 60 we can see that the commonly occuring prime factors are 2 and 3.

To calculate the prime factor, we multiply these numbers together:

GCF = 2 x 3 = 6
