Greatest common factor calculator

The greatest common factor of two or more whole numbers is the largest integer that divides every one of them without a remainder.

Elementary and middle-school programs introduce that idea as GCF before they rename it greatest common divisor in later number theory. Students list factor pairs, circle the overlap, and check that the leftover of each division is zero. This school calculator accepts two or more positive whole numbers, runs the Euclidean algorithm so large classroom examples stay exact, and returns the GCF together with every shared factor, the reduced quotients, and a short identity you can write next to a worksheet. Teachers, parents, and homework platforms get the same deterministic answer the free browser widget produces. Failed input is not billed. Every successful API call costs $0.002.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/gcf-school

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/gcf-school \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"numbers":[12,18,24]}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/gcf-school", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "numbers": [
      12,
      18,
      24
    ]
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/gcf-school",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "numbers": [
        12,
        18,
        24
    ]
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

<?php
$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/gcf-school", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"numbers":[12,18,24]}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"numbers":[12,18,24]}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/gcf-school", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "numbers": [
    12,
    18,
    24
  ]
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "edu.gcf_school",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Published price — no tokens, no invented credits. A failed task is never charged.

Limits
