The GCD of given numbers is 7.
factors of 28 are : | 1 , 2 , 4 , 7 , 14 , 28 |
factors of 42 are : | 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 21 , 42 |
factors of 49 are : | 1 , 7 , 49 |
We see that the Greatest Common Factor = 7.
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
