    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 42, 126 and 210?

    Answer

    GCF of 42, 126 and 210 is
    42

    Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

    42 divides all three: 42 ÷ 42 = 1, 126 ÷ 42 = 3, 210 ÷ 42 = 5 — and 1, 3 and 5 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    42 = 2 × 3 × 7

    126 = 2 × 32 × 7

    210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7
