What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 50 and 420?

Answer

GCF (HCF) of 50 and 420 is

Common factors: 1, 2, 5, 10

10 divides both: 50 ÷ 10 = 5, 420 ÷ 10 = 42 — and 5 and 42 share no factor but 1, so no larger number divides both.

420 = 2² × 3 × 5 × 7

Prime	50	420	Lowest power
2	2	2²	2
3	—	3	—
5	5²	5	5
7	—	7	—

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