Handy GCF of Decimals Calculator to know the GCF of decimals 0.4, 0.72, 0.1 i.e. 0.02 the largest integer that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
Greatest common factor (GCF) of 0.4, 0.72, 0.1 is 0.02.
GCF(0.4, 0.72, 0.1) = 0.02
GCF of 0.4, 0.72, 0.1
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.4,0.72,0.1. The highest number of digits after the decimal point in the given case is 2
Thus, in order to get rid of the decimal point we need to multiply them with 100. On doing so, they are as follows
0.4 x 100 = 40
0.72 x 100 = 72
0.1 x 100 = 10
On finding the GCF of 40,72,10 we get the Greatest Common Factor as 2
GCF of 0.4,0.72,0.1 is 0.02
| 2 | 40, 72, 10 |
| 20, 36, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Divide the GCF by 100 as we multiplied by it to make the given numbers as integers in the initial step.
By dividing the GCF we get = 2/100 = 0.02
Therefore the Greatest Common Factor of 0.4,0.72,0.1 is 0.02
