45 – 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
54 – 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 54
gcf = 9
12 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
78 – 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 78
gcf= 6
45 – 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
75 – 1, 3, 5, 15, 25
gcf = 15
This is a less common method but works the same
Factor each number as far as possible
45=3 x 3 x 5
54=3 x 3 x 2 x 3
Pull out the factors that are the same.
That would be 3 ,3
3x3=9 which is the gcf.
The next problem;
12=2x2x3
78=13x2x3
Which numbers are the same?
2 and 3
2x3=6
6 is the gcf
The next problem;
45=3x3x5
75=5x3x5
The same numbers in both is 3 and 5
3x5=15
15 is the gcf.
