What is the greatest common factor (gcf) for 26 and 78?

6

13

26

3

2

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the GCF of two numbers is the biggest common factor that divides both numbers without leaving residue. We find the factors:

26: 1,2,13,26

78: 1,2,3,6,13,26

Thus, the GCF of both numbers is 26

Answer:

26
