Greatest common factor (GCF) of 87.5, 100 is 12.5.
GCF(87.5, 100) = 12.5
GCF of 87.5, 100
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 87.5,100. The highest number of digits after the decimal point in the given case is 1
Thus, in order to get rid of the decimal point we need to multiply them with 10. On doing so, they are as follows
87.5 x 10 = 875
100 x 10 = 1000
On finding the GCF of 875,1000 we get the Greatest Common Factor as 125
GCF of 87.5,100 is 12.5
| 5 | 875, 1000 |
| 5 | 175, 200 |
| 5 | 35, 40 |
| 7, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 5 = 125
Divide the GCF by 10 as we multiplied by it to make the given numbers as integers in the initial step.
By dividing the GCF we get = 125/10 = 12.5
Therefore the Greatest Common Factor of 87.5,100 is 12.5
