Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 24, 36 and 92 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 24 | 2 |
| 12 | 2 |
| 6 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 1 |
| 36 | 2 |
| 18 | 2 |
| 9 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 1 |
| 92 | 2 |
| 46 | 2 |
| 23 | 23 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 24 | = | 23 . 3 |
| Prime factors of 36 | = | 22 . 32 |
| Prime factors of 92 | = | 22 . 23 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: 2
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 22
4. Calculate the Greatest Common Factor or GCF
Remember, to find the GCF of several numbers you must multiply the common prime factors with the lowest exponent.
GCF = 22 = 4
