prime factorization each number is a part of the whole
Method of prime factorization is one of the best method to find out greatest common factor.Prime factorization of 32 = 2x2x2x2x2Prime factorization of 8 = 2x2x2Prime factorization of 40 = 2x2x2x52x2x2 is a factor of each number. Also, it is the greatest number which divides 32, 8 and 40. So, gcf is 8.See the related links below to know more about prime factorization.
23 x 5 = 40
No. Each composite number has its own unique prime factorization.
The prime factorization of 32 is 2x2x2x2x2 or 25. The prime factorization of 40 is 2x2x2x5 or 23x5. For a number to be a multiple of a given number the multiple must have the entire prime factorization of that number in is. So a multiple of 32 must contain 2x2x2x2x2 or 25 . Likewise a multiple of 40 must contain 2x2x2x5 or 23x5. The least number that this could possible happen with must have 5 factors of 2 and one factor of 5 (the highest exponent on each individual prime factor). Thus the LCM is 2x2x2x2x2x5 or 25x5 Which is 160.
40 is simply a number. It does not and cannot explain prime factorisation!
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 is the prime factorization of 40.
The prime factorization of 93 is 3 x 31
2^3 x 5
To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 24, 40, and 48, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 24 is 2^3 * 3, the prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5, and the prime factorization of 48 is 2^4 * 3. The GCF is the product of the common prime factors raised to the lowest power, which in this case is 2^3 = 8. Therefore, the GCF of 24, 40, and 48 is 8.
42 and 48 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 24 x 3 = 48
