Step-by-step explanation

the greatest common factor is the highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers

to find the GCF List the prime factors that are common to each of the original numbers. Include the highest number of occurrences of each prime factor that is common to each original number. Multiply these together to get the GCF

so

Step 1

List the prime factors or each number


\begin{gathered} 7=7 \\ 76=2\cdot2\cdot19 \end{gathered}

To find the GCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:


\begin{gathered} GCF=1\cdot1=1 \\ GF=1 \end{gathered}

Therefore, GCF = 1

I hope this helps you
