To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 96, 144, and 224, we need to first find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 96 is 2^5 * 3, the prime factorization of 144 is 2^4 * 3^2, and the prime factorization of 224 is 2^5 * 7. To find the GCF, we look for the highest power of common prime factors in all three numbers, which in this case is 2^4 = 16. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 96, 144, and 224 is 16.
24 x 32 = 144
144 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
find the prime factorization of 268
Since 72 is a factor of 144, its entire prime factorization will be contained in the prime factorization of 144.
Since 72 is a factor of 144, its whole prime factorization will be contained in the prime factorization of 144.
2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 144

since 144 is 122 you can find the primefactorization easy by noting that 12=22 x3 so 144=24x32
144 = 24 32
The prime factors of 144 are: 2,3
24*32 = 144
144 = 24 x 32
24 x 32 = 144
24 x 32 = 144
