What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 10, 15 and 45?

Answer

GCF of 10, 15 and 45 is
5

Common factors: 1, 5

5 divides all three: 10 ÷ 5 = 2, 15 ÷ 5 = 3, 45 ÷ 5 = 9 — and 2, 3 and 9 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

10 = 2 × 5

15 = 3 × 5

45 = 32 × 5

FAQ

What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 10, 15 and 45?

GCF of 10, 15 and 45 is 5

What prime factors do 10, 15 and 45 share?

All three factorizations contain 5, and multiplying those shared primes gives 5 — exactly the greatest common factor.

Can you get the GCF of 10, 15 and 45 two numbers at a time?

Yes. The GCF of 10 and 15 is 5, and the GCF of 5 and 45 is 5 — the same answer, because the greatest common factor is associative and does not depend on the order of the three numbers.

How does the GCF simplify the ratio 10 : 15 : 45?

Divide every term by the GCF 5: 10 ÷ 5 = 2, 15 ÷ 5 = 3 and 45 ÷ 5 = 9. So 10 : 15 : 45 in lowest terms is 2 : 3 : 9, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
