Some people use factor trees, rainbows, fireworks, etc.
tree factor and two answer is i don't know?
Prime factors are part of prime factorizations. Prime factorizations help in finding the GCF and LCM of integers. Finding the GCF helps in reducing fractions. Finding the LCM helps in adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Carpenters do this. Chefs do this. It's entirely possible you will have no need of this, but it's better to know something and not need to use it then not know something you need to use. If you have children of your own, you can help them with their math homework.
Either one will work. If you're listing factors, use factors. If you're using prime factorization, use prime factors.
It is the same as finding the LCM of two numbers that have been expressed as a product of their prime factors except that you need to use the highest index for each prime factor.
The first step to finding the common prime factors is to list the prime factors of both numbers. For 12 and 45, the prime factors are: 12 = 2x2x3 45 = 3x3x5 The next step is to identify which prime factors are shared by both. In this case, both use a 3. Thus, 3 is the only common prime factor of 12 and 45.
If your numbers have no prime factors in common, they are relatively prime.
Use a factor tree.
Yes. Since 36 x 10 = 360, combine the prime factors of 36 with the prime factors of 10.
With the use of prime factorisation the numbers are: 18: 2,3,3 24: 2,2,2,3 The actual factors are for both 18 and 24 are 2 and 3
you use prime factorization
Prime numbers only have one and themselves as factors.
Gcf you use when you are finding the greatest factor for the numbers. Lcm you use when you are finding the smallest multiple in the numbers factors
