3 <p>The GCF is the largest number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving any remainder. GCF is used to share the items equally, to group or arrange items, and schedule events. In this topic, we will learn about the GCF of 27 and 63.</p>

4 <h2>What is the GCF of 27 and 63?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 27 and 63 is 9. The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the number. If two numbers are co-prime, they have no common factors other than 1, so their GCF is 1. The GCF of two numbers cannot be negative because divisors are always positive.</p>

6 <h2>How to find the GCF of 27 and 63?</h2>

7 <p>To find the GCF of 27 and 63, a few methods are described below</p>

30 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>First, divide the larger number by the smaller number.</p>

32 <p>Here, divide 63 by 27 63 ÷ 27 = 2 (<a>quotient</a>),</p>

31 <p>Here, divide 63 by 27 63 ÷ 27 = 2 (<a>quotient</a>),</p>

33 <p>The<a>remainder</a>is calculated as 63 - (27×2) = 9</p>

34 <p>The remainder is 9, not zero, so continue the process</p>

33 <p>The remainder is 9, not zero, so continue the process</p>

35 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (27) by the previous remainder (9)</p>

34 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide the previous divisor (27) by the previous remainder (9)</p>

36 <p>Divide 27 by 9 27 ÷ 9 = 3 (quotient), remainder = 27 - (9×3) = 0</p>

35 <p>Divide 27 by 9 27 ÷ 9 = 3 (quotient), remainder = 27 - (9×3) = 0</p>

37 <p>The remainder is zero, so the divisor will become the GCF.</p>
