Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 46, 188 and 385 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
46 | 2 |
23 | 23 |
1 |
188 | 2 |
94 | 2 |
47 | 47 |
1 |
385 | 5 |

2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
Prime factors of 46 | = | 2 . 23 |
Prime factors of 188 | = | 22 . 47 |
Prime factors of 385 | = | 5 . 7 . 11 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: None
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: None
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.
Since there are not common prime factors the GCF is 1
