What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 6, 18 and 30?
Answer
GCF of 6, 18 and 30 is
6
Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6
6 divides all three: 6 ÷ 6 = 1, 18 ÷ 6 = 3, 30 ÷ 6 = 5 — and 1, 3 and 5 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.
6 = 2 × 3
18 = 2 × 32
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
