    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 120, 144 and 324?

    Answer

    GCF of 120, 144 and 324 is
    12

    Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

    12 divides all three: 120 ÷ 12 = 10, 144 ÷ 12 = 12, 324 ÷ 12 = 27 — and 10, 12 and 27 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    120 = 23 × 3 × 5

    144 = 24 × 32

    324 = 22 × 34

    — = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number, so it cannot be in the GCF.

    GCF = 22 × 3 = 12

    FAQ

    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 120, 144 and 324?

    GCF of 120, 144 and 324 is 12

    What prime factors do 120, 144 and 324 share?

    All three factorizations contain 2 × 2 × 3, and multiplying those shared primes gives 12 — exactly the greatest common factor.

    Can you get the GCF of 120, 144 and 324 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 120 and 144 is 24, and the GCF of 24 and 324 is 12 — 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 120 : 144 : 324?

    Divide every term by the GCF 12: 120 ÷ 12 = 10, 144 ÷ 12 = 12 and 324 ÷ 12 = 27. So 120 : 144 : 324 in lowest terms is 10 : 12 : 27, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
