    Good night,

    To find the GCF of several numbers the first thing you have to do is decompose the numbers, so:

    24 | 2

    12 | 2

    6 | 2

    3 | 3

    1

    24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x3

    24 = 2³ x 3

    21 | 3

    7 | 7

    1

    21 = 7 x 3

    GCF = common factors with the lowest exponents

    GCF = 3
