Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 31, 124 and 217 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 31 | 31 |
| 1 |
| 124 | 2 |
| 62 | 2 |
| 31 | 31 |
| 1 |
| 217 | 7 |
| 31 | 31 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 31 | = | 31 |
| Prime factors of 124 | = | 22 . 31 |
| Prime factors of 217 | = | 7 . 31 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: 31
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 311
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 = 311 = 31
