Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 36, 54, 76 and 94 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 36 | 2 |
| 18 | 2 |
| 9 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 1 |
| 54 | 2 |
| 27 | 3 |

| 38 | 2 |
| 19 | 19 |
| 1 |
| 94 | 2 |
| 47 | 47 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 36 | = | 22 . 32 |
| Prime factors of 54 | = | 2 . 33 |
| Prime factors of 76 | = | 22 . 19 |
| Prime factors of 94 | = | 2 . 47 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: 2
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 21
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 = 21 = 2
