The prime factorization of 48 is 2X2x2x2x3.
The only number with that prime factorization has to be 48.
Prime factorization for 48=2x2x2x2x3 or 2to the power of 4 x 3
To find the HCF of two numbers you first need to break them down into their prime factors. In this case we get: 36 = 2x2x3x3 48 = 2x2x2x2x3 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case, both numbers have two 2s and a 3 as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get 12. Therefore, the HCF of 36 and 48 is 12.
The answer is three (3).48 = 2x3x2x2x2 (prime factors)72 = 3x3x2x2x2 (prime factors)
2x2x2x2x3=48
The prime factorization of 48 is 2X2x2x2x3.
2x2x2x2x3

The prime factorization of 48 is 2x2x2x2x3, or 24x3 in exponential form.
The only number with that prime factorization has to be 48.
48 =2x2x2x2x3 96=2x2x2x2x2x3 Common factors are 2,2,2,2,3
To get the gcf of 56 and 48, you have to split the numbers into their prime factors: 56 = 2x2x2x7 48 = 2x2x2x2x3 Next you have to spot any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have three 2s as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get: 2x2x2 = 8 And so the GCF of 56 and 48 is 8.
TO work out the HCF you need to split the numbers into their prime factors. In this case you have: 40 = 2x2x2x5 48 = 2x2x2x2x3 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. Both numbers have three 2s as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get: 2x2x2 = 8 Thus the HCF of 40 and 48 is 8.
