The greatest common factor, or GCF, is quite self-explanatory. Between two numbers, you have to find the greatest number that can be divided by both numbers without any remainder. This is useful in solving addition and subtraction operations involving fractions. The technique to do this is to place the numbers to the right. Then, place the factors to the left. I'm gonna show the solution so that you can understand better.

4 | 12 28 24
----------------------
| 3 7 6
----------------------

Since all numbers can be divided by 4, you place it on the left side. Then, place the quotients on the next row below. Since, there is no more common factor, it ends with the 2nd row. Then, multiply all the left numbers with the numbers in the very last column.

GCF = 4×3×7×6
GCF = 504

The density of a certain type of paint is 1.2 grams per cubic centimeter. A garage door that is 3 meters tall and 7 meters wide

Naily [24]

We know that
density=mass/volume
solve for mass
mass=density*volume

step 1
find the area of the garage door in cm²<span>
Area=300*700------> 210000 cm</span>²

step 2
find the volume of the paint
Volume=area*thick
thick=1 mm-----> 0.1 cm
Volume=210000*0.1-----> 21000 cm³

step 3
find the mass
mass=density*volume
density=1.2 g/cm³
volume=21000 cm³
mass=1.2*21000-----> 25200 grams

the answer is
25200 grams
