Tell me all the multiples of 18, 24 and 48

Parth (parthkohli):

No, no, no. We're not looking for multiples, but factors.

i give an example 18,12. 18=2x3x3, 12=2x2x3 the gcf (2x3=6)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Well ok. 18 = 1 x 2 , 3 x 6 , 9 x 2 , 1 x 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 24 = 1 x 24 , 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6, 6 x 4 , 8 x 3, 12 x 2 = 1, 2, 3,4, 6, 8, 12, 24 48 =

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

do the same for 48.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx..

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

and then find the highest number that is similar in all of these 3. That will be your GCF. For example, the GCF between 18 and 24 is 6 because it's the highest reoccuring number
