To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12, 60, and 68, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 12 is 2^2 * 3, the prime factorization of 60 is 2^2 * 3 * 5, and the prime factorization of 68 is 2^2 * 17. The GCF is the product of the common prime factors raised to the lowest power, which in this case is 2^2 = 4. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 12, 60, and 68 is 4.
12 is a composite number, not a prime factor.
We deny the premise. 60 is not a prime number.
Yes 12 is a factor of 60 because 5*12 = 60
2 x 2 x 3 = 12 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60
15 is a factor of 60.The proof: 15 x 4=60(It is, of course, not a prime factor.)
The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3The prime factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3
The gcf of 12 and 60 is 12. Since 12 is a factor of 60, it is automatically the GCF.
The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3. The only prime factor of 27 is 3. The prime number that both 12 and 27 have as a factor is 3.
The Greatest Common Factor of 12, 60 is 12.
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 36, 60, and 84, you can break down each number into its prime factorization and then identify the common prime factors. Prime factorization of 36: 36 = 2 2 × 3 2 36=2 2 ×3 2 Prime factorization of 60: 60 = 2 2 × 3 × 5 60=2 2 ×3×5 Prime factorization of 84: 84 = 2 2 × 3 × 7 84=2 2 ×3×7 Now, identify the common prime factors and multiply them: � � � ( 36 , 60 , 84 ) = 2 2 × 3 = 12 GCF(36,60,84)=2 2 ×3=12 So, the greatest common factor of 36, 60, and 84 is 12.
