What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 45, 60 and 75?

Answer

GCF of 45, 60 and 75 is
15

Common factors: 1, 3, 5, 15

15 divides all three: 45 ÷ 15 = 3, 60 ÷ 15 = 4, 75 ÷ 15 = 5 — and 3, 4 and 5 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

45 = 32 × 5

60 = 22 × 3 × 5

75 = 3 × 52
