A factor is a divisor - a number that will evenly divide into another number. The greatest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest factor that both numbers have in common.
One way to determine the common factors and greatest common factor is to find all the factors of the numbers and compare them.
The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72.
The factors of 80 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, and 80.
The common factors are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Therefore, the greatest common factor is 8.
The highest common factor of the numbers 36, 60 and 72 is 12.
The factors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72The common factors are: 1, 3, 9The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is: 9
nine
24
Well if you have 30/72 you first need to find the greatest common factor, which happens to be 6. The divide both 30 and 72 by 6 and you get 5/12. This cannot be simplified therefore it is now in simplest form.
The GCF is 8.
The GCF is 8.
The GCF is 8.
The GCF is 8.
The GCF is 8.
GCF(16, 32, 72) = 8.
Since 32 is a factor of 96, it is automatically the GCF.
Yes
the common factors are 2,4,8 and the greatest common factor is 8
The GCF is 8.
The greatest common factor of 7248 , 72 = 24
The greatest common factor of 4 and 72 is 4.
