2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
Prime factors of 14 | = | 2 . 7 |
Prime factors of 28 | = | 22 . 7 |
Prime factors of 44 | = | 22 . 11 |
Prime factors of 50 | = | 2 . 52 |
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
