    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 9, 12 and 18?

    Answer

    GCF of 9, 12 and 18 is
    3

    Common factors: 1, 3

    3 divides all three: 9 ÷ 3 = 3, 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 18 ÷ 3 = 6 — and 3, 4 and 6 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    9 = 32

    12 = 22 × 3

    18 = 2 × 32

    — = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number, so it cannot be in the GCF.

    GCF = 3

    FAQ

    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 9, 12 and 18?

    GCF of 9, 12 and 18 is 3

    What prime factors do 9, 12 and 18 share?

    All three factorizations contain 3, and multiplying those shared primes gives 3 — exactly the greatest common factor.

    Can you get the GCF of 9, 12 and 18 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 9 and 12 is 3, and the GCF of 3 and 18 is 3 — 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 9 : 12 : 18?

    Divide every term by the GCF 3: 9 ÷ 3 = 3, 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 18 ÷ 3 = 6. So 9 : 12 : 18 in lowest terms is 3 : 4 : 6, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
