The prime factorization of 48 is 2*2*2*2*3
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 16, 48, and 60 is 4. To find the HCF, you need to factorize each number into its prime factors. The prime factors of 16 are 2^4, the prime factors of 48 are 2^4 * 3, and the prime factors of 60 are 2^2 * 3 * 5. The HCF is the product of the common prime factors raised to the lowest power, which in this case is 2^2 = 4.
The largest perfect square factor of 48 is 16.
Find the prime factors of 48 and 108: 48 = 2*2*2*2*3 108 = 2*2*3*3*3 Now multiply the common factors: GCF = 2*2*3 = 12
Well, isn't that a happy little math question! To find the highest common factor of 27, 42, and 48, we first need to find the factors of each number. The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, and 27. The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42. The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48. The highest common factor of these numbers is 3.
