    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 36, 60 and 84?

    Answer

    GCF of 36, 60 and 84 is
    12

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

    12 divides all three: 36 ÷ 12 = 3, 60 ÷ 12 = 5, 84 ÷ 12 = 7 — and 3, 5 and 7 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    36 = 22 × 32

    60 = 22 × 3 × 5

    84 = 22 × 3 × 7

    7——7—

    — = 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 36, 60 and 84?

    GCF of 36, 60 and 84 is 12

    What prime factors do 36, 60 and 84 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 36, 60 and 84 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 36 and 60 is 12, and the GCF of 12 and 84 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 36 : 60 : 84?

    Divide every term by the GCF 12: 36 ÷ 12 = 3, 60 ÷ 12 = 5 and 84 ÷ 12 = 7. So 36 : 60 : 84 in lowest terms is 3 : 5 : 7, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
