Greatest common factor (GCF) of 4.2, 12.6, 21 is 4.2.
GCF(4.2, 12.6, 21) = 4.2
GCF of 4.2, 12.6, 21
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 4.2,12.6,21. 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
4.2 x 10 = 42
12.6 x 10 = 126
21 x 10 = 210
On finding the GCF of 42,126,210 we get the Greatest Common Factor as 42
GCF of 4.2,12.6,21 is 4.2
| 2 | 42, 126, 210 |
| 3 | 21, 63, 105 |
| 7 | 7, 21, 35 |
| 1, 3, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 = 42
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 = 42/10 = 4.2
Therefore the Greatest Common Factor of 4.2,12.6,21 is 4.2
