The factors of 48 are: 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 48 The prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
The factors of 168 are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 12 14 21 24 28 42 56 84 168 The prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7
To express 16 as a product of prime factors, we first note that 16 is an even number, so we can divide it by 2. 16 divided by 2 equals 8. 8 is also divisible by 2, so we divide it by 2 again to get 4. Finally, 4 is divisible by 2, giving us 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, or 2^4. Therefore, 16 can be expressed as 2^4.
The answer depends on how good you are.You can either factorise the number completely and express it in terms of the exponents of its prime factors. Any prime with an exponent of 3 (or a multiple of 3) is a cube factor.A faster, but more demanding way is to see if 8, 27, 64 ... are factors.The answer depends on how good you are.You can either factorise the number completely and express it in terms of the exponents of its prime factors.

To work this out, you need to write the numbers as the product of their prime factors: 24 = 2x2x2x3 64 = 2x2x2x2x2x2 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have three 2s as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get: 2x2x2 = 8 Thus the HCF of 24 and 64 is 8.
