    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 12, 18 and 24?

    Answer

    GCF of 12, 18 and 24 is
    6

    Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6

    6 divides all three: 12 ÷ 6 = 2, 18 ÷ 6 = 3, 24 ÷ 6 = 4 — and 2, 3 and 4 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    12 = 22 × 3

    18 = 2 × 32

    24 = 23 × 3

    FAQ

    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 12, 18 and 24?

    GCF of 12, 18 and 24 is 6

    What prime factors do 12, 18 and 24 share?

    All three factorizations contain 2 × 3, and multiplying those shared primes gives 6 — exactly the greatest common factor.

    Can you get the GCF of 12, 18 and 24 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 12 and 18 is 6, and the GCF of 6 and 24 is 6 — 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 12 : 18 : 24?

    Divide every term by the GCF 6: 12 ÷ 6 = 2, 18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4. So 12 : 18 : 24 in lowest terms is 2 : 3 : 4, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
