What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 16, 60 and 100?

Answer

GCF of 16, 60 and 100 is
4

Common factors: 1, 2, 4

4 divides all three: 16 ÷ 4 = 4, 60 ÷ 4 = 15, 100 ÷ 4 = 25 — and 4, 15 and 25 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

16 = 24

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

100 = 22 × 52
