Step by step procedure on how to find G.C.F of Decimals

Based on the guidelines below regarding Greatest Common Factor you will get the solution easily and understand the method of finding GCF for two numbers in decimal. Find the GCF/HCF of two numbers in Decimal easily by following the simple steps listed over here

Step 1: Convert each of the decimals to like decimals by multiplying with 10, 100, 1000….

Just in case you want to find the GCF of 0.9 and 0.63, find the number having more digits after the decimal point. In this case, the 0.63 has more decimal places and has two digits after the decimal point.

Multiply both the numbers 0.9 and 0.63 by 100 to make them as integers.

Step 2: After multiplying with 10,100, or 1000…. find the GCF of the integers you got in the first step.

Step 3: Divide the GCF you got in the second step by the corresponding number you multiplied in step 1.

Go through the Step by Step explanation on how to Greatest Common Factor of Two numbers in decimals.

GCF of Decimals with Examples

Example 1: Find the greatest common factor of 0.90 and 0.63?

Solution:

In the given numbers 0.90 and 0.63 we are having equal digits after decimal point. That is two digits.

To get rid of the decimal point multiply each of the numbers with 100. On doing so you will get the results as such

0.90 x 100 = 90

0.63 x 100 = 63

GCF of 90 and 63 is 9

Divide the GCF(9) by 100 as we multiplied by it to make the given numbers as integers in the initial step.

By dividing the GCF we get = 9/100 = 0.09

Therefore the Greatest Common Factor of 0.90 and 0.63 is 0.09

Example 2: Find the GCF of 0.54 and 0.27?

Solution:

In the given numbers 0.54 and 0.27 we have equal number of digits after decimal point i.e is 2 digits

To get rid of the decimal point multiply both of them with 100 and you will get the result as such

0.54 x 100 = 54

0.27 x 100 = 27

Find the GCF of 54, 27

Greatest Common Factor of 54, 27 is 27

Divide the GCF obtained by 100 as we have multiplied by it to make the given numbers as integers.

Divide the GCF/HCF obtained 27/100 = 0.27

So, the greatest common factor is 0.27
