Find the prime factorization. Identify the distinct prime factors. Add them up.
The GCF is 12.
Divide 60 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
It can be. 60 is a factor of 120.
15 (45/15 =3, 60/15=4)
To find the GCF of two numbers, you first split them both into their prime factors. 45 = 3x3x5 60 = 2x2x3x5 The next step is to find the common prime factors. In this case, both numbers have one 3 as a factor, and both have one 5 as a factor. To get the greatest common factor, we find the product of these common prime factors: 5x3=15 Thus the greatest common factor of 45 and 60 is 15.
The greatest factor of a number is the number itself. So, the greatest factor of 60 is 60.
The GCF is 12.
Prime numbers have one distinct prime factor.
36
Not necessarily. (6,6) is a factor pair of 36, but only one of the sixes is a distinct factor of 36.
The GCF is 6.
