Question

GCF of 24 , 36 , and 60

Answer 1

To find the greatest common factor of any set:
1) List their prime factorizations.

24 = 2³ × 3
36 = 2² × 3²
60 = 2² × 3 × 5

2) Multiply together any factor these all share.

2² × 3 = 12 (GCF)

Answer 2

24 36 60
1 × 24 1 × 36 1 × 60
2 × 12 2 × 18 2 × 30
3 × 8 3 × 12 3 × 20
4 × 6 4 × 9 4 × 15
6 × 6 5 × 12
6 × 10

GCF(24, 36, 60) = 12
