| 124 | 2 |
| 62 | 2 |
| 31 | 31 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 70 | = | 2 . 5 . 7 |
| Prime factors of 96 | = | 25 . 3 |
| Prime factors of 112 | = | 24 . 7 |
| Prime factors of 124 | = | 22 . 31 |
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
