    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 24, 36 and 60?

    Answer

    GCF of 24, 36 and 60 is
    12

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

    12 divides all three: 24 ÷ 12 = 2, 36 ÷ 12 = 3, 60 ÷ 12 = 5 — and 2, 3 and 5 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    24 = 23 × 3

    36 = 22 × 32

    60 = 22 × 3 × 5

    5——5—

    — = 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 24, 36 and 60?

    GCF of 24, 36 and 60 is 12

    What prime factors do 24, 36 and 60 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 24, 36 and 60 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 24 and 36 is 12, and the GCF of 12 and 60 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 24 : 36 : 60?

    Divide every term by the GCF 12: 24 ÷ 12 = 2, 36 ÷ 12 = 3 and 60 ÷ 12 = 5. So 24 : 36 : 60 in lowest terms is 2 : 3 : 5, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
