The greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 84 is determined by finding the largest number that divides both without a remainder. Listing the factors of each:

- **42**: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
- **84**: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84

The common factors are **1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42**, with the largest being **42**. Prime factorization confirms this:
- **42** = 2 × 3 × 7
- **84** = 2² × 3 × 7

The GCF is the product of the common primes at their lowest powers: **2 × 3 × 7 = 42**.

kimi To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 84, we can use the prime factorization method.

First, find the prime factors of each number:
- 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
- 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7

Now, identify the common prime factors and multiply them together:
- Common factors are 2, 3, and 7.
- GCF = 2 × 3 × 7 = 42

So, the greatest common factor of 42 and 84 is 42.

deepseekv3 To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 84, we can use the **prime factorization** method.

### Step 1: Find the prime factors of 42
- 42 ÷ 2 = 21
- 21 ÷ 3 = 7
- 7 ÷ 7 = 1
So, the prime factors of 42 are **2 × 3 × 7**.

### Step 2: Find the prime factors of 84
- 84 ÷ 2 = 42
- 42 ÷ 2 = 21
- 21 ÷ 3 = 7
- 7 ÷ 7 = 1
So, the prime factors of 84 are **2 × 2 × 3 × 7**.

### Step 3: Identify the common prime factors
The common prime factors of 42 and 84 are **2, 3, and 7**.

### Step 4: Multiply the common prime factors
2 × 3 × 7 = **42**.

Thus, the GCF of 42 and 84 is **42**.
