Given Numbers: 63, 77, 91, 105
Identify the Prime Factors of 63, 77, 91 and 105 by Prime Factorization
Identify the Prime Factors of 63, 77, 91 and 105 by Prime Factorization
- Prime Factorization of 63: 63 = 3 x 3 x 7 = 32 x 71
- Prime Factorization of 77: 77 = 7 x 11 = 71 x 111
- Prime Factorization of 91: 91 = 7 x 13 = 71 x 131
- Prime Factorization of 105: 105 = 3 x 5 x 7 = 31 x 51 x 71
Determine the Prime Factor(s) that are common to the Prime Factorization of each number:
- 7 is the only Prime Factor common to the Prime Factorizations of 63, 77, 91 and 105
Determine the least number of occurrences of 7 among the Prime Factorizations:
- 7 occurs 1 time in each Prime Factorization
As a result, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 63, 77, 91 and 105 is equal to 7, which equals 7 raised to the power of its least number of occurrences or smallest exponent among the Prime Factorizations:
- GCF (63, 77, 91, 105) = 71
- GCF(63, 77, 91, 105) = 7
Therefore, the Greatest Common Factor of 63, 77, 91 and 105 by Prime Factorization = 7
