4 x 12 + 4 x 8 = 4 x (12 + 8) = 4 x 20 = 80
When you divide 2 or more numbers by a common factor which is not the greatest common factor, they will still have a common factor which is greater than 1. When you divide them by their greatest common factor, the quotients are coprime - that is, they no longer have a factor in common other than 1.
What makes a greatest common factor "common" is comparing at least two terms and finding something common between them.

The greatest common factor of 144 and 175 is 1. Factoring completely, we determine: 144 = 12 * 12 = 3 * 3 * 4 * 4 = 3 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 1 175 = 7 * 25 = 7 * 5 * 5 * 1 Since the only factor these have in common is 1, 1 is their greatest common factor.
One place where this is used is to simplify fractions: you need to find the greatest common factor, then divide top and bottom by this greatest common factor.Also, in factoring expressions - you can take out the greatest common factor. For example (using "^" for power): 5x^2 + 10x has the greatest common factor 5x; so this can be taken out as a common factor, resulting in 5x(x + 2).
gcf is Greatest Common Factor. It means what is the largest value that can go into what you are factoring.
It is 6

factoring whole numbers,factoring out the greatest common factor,factoring trinomials,factoring the difference of two squares,factoring the sum or difference of two cubes,factoring by grouping.
The GCF is 3x3y2.
the 5 kinds of factoring are common monomial factor, difference of two cubes, quadratic trinomial, perfect square trinomial,and difference of two square.
Additive factoring.7e + 7e2= 7e(1 + e)----------------------so,7e=====greatest common factor
When you divide 2 or more numbers by a common factor which is not the greatest common factor, they will still have a common factor which is greater than 1. When you divide them by their greatest common factor, the quotients are coprime - that is, they no longer have a factor in common other than 1.
