Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 34, 130 and 154 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 34 | 2 |
| 17 | 17 |
| 1 |
| 130 | 2 |
| 65 | 5 |
| 13 | 13 |
| 1 |
| 154 | 2 |
| 77 | 7 |
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 34 | = | 2 . 17 |
| Prime factors of 130 | = | 2 . 5 . 13 |
| Prime factors of 154 | = | 2 . 7 . 11 |
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
