Explanation:

Step1: Prime - factorize the numbers

For each pair/group of numbers, we find their prime - factorizations.

Step2: Identify common prime factors

We look for the prime factors that are common to all the numbers in the pair/group.

Step3: Calculate the GCF

The GCF is the product of the common prime factors.

21. 5, 7

5 is prime ($5 = 5$) and 7 is prime ($7 = 7$). They have no common factors other than 1.

Answer:

1

22. 12, 15

$12=2\times2\times3$, $15 = 3\times5$. The common factor is 3.
