The prime factorization of 12 is: 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
However, there cannot be a greatest common factor (GCF) of just one number. To be common there need to be at least two numbers. If you find all the factors of two or more numbers, and you find some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.
The GCF of 12 and 54 is 6. To find the GCF, write the prime factorizations of each number.The prime factorization of 12 is 2*2*3The prime factorization of 54 is 2*3*3*3The factors in common are 2*3 = 6, so that is the GCF.
YES. Prime factorization can be used to get the GCF.Example:Prime factorization of:12 = 2 x 2 x 324 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 2============GCF=2 x 2 x 3GCF=12
Since 12 is a factor of 48, the GCF of 12 and 48 is 12.12.12. 12/12 = 148/12 = 4GCF or 12 and 48 = 12Prime factorization of:12 = 2 * 2 * 348 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 2 * 2=============GCF=2* 2 * 3 = 12
The GCF is 6.
Expressing each number as the product of prime number helps a lot in finding gcf.Prime factorization of 48x5 = 2x2x2x2x3x5Prime factorization of 36x3 = 2x2x3x3x3It is clear that 2x2x3 is the greatest common factor.So, gcf is 12.
19 is already prime; no factorization.
2 and 29
2 x 5 = 10
3 * 5 * 7 * 11 = 1,155
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
2 x 2 x 11 = 44
105 = 3 x 5 x 7
The GCF of 12 and 54 is 6. To find the GCF, write the prime factorizations of each number.The prime factorization of 12 is 2*2*3The prime factorization of 54 is 2*3*3*3The factors in common are 2*3 = 6, so that is the GCF.
The GCF of 12 and 75 is 3.The prime factorization of 12 is 2*2*3.The prime factorization of 75 is 3*5*5Their greatest common factor is 3.
The GCF of 12, 24, and 39 is 3.The prime factorization of 12 is 2*2*3The prime factorization of 24 is 2*2*2*3The prime factorization of 39 is 3*13So the GCF of 12, 24, and 39 is 3.
YES. Prime factorization can be used to get the GCF.Example:Prime factorization of:12 = 2 x 2 x 324 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 2============GCF=2 x 2 x 3GCF=12
