Finding the prime factors of a number involves repeated division of the number by prime numbers and only moving on when that prime will not evenly divide into the number, until we end up with a quotient of 1.
48 ÷ 2 = 24 (we always start with 2, the lowest prime)
24 ÷ 2 = 12
12 ÷ 2 = 6
6 ÷ 2 = 3 (2 will not evenly divide into 3, so we move on to the next prime)
3 ÷ 3 = 1
So we divided by 2 four times and by 3 once.... so the prime factors fo 48 are 2, 2, 2, 2 and 3.
The prime factorization of 48 is 2X2x2x2x3.
The only number with that prime factorization has to be 48.
To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 24, 40, and 48, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 24 is 2^3 * 3, the prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5, and the prime factorization of 48 is 2^4 * 3. The GCF is the product of the common prime factors raised to the lowest power, which in this case is 2^3 = 8. Therefore, the GCF of 24, 40, and 48 is 8.
Prime factorization for 48=2x2x2x2x3 or 2to the power of 4 x 3
The LCM of 8, 16, and 24 is 48 The prime factorization of 8 is 2x2x2 The prime factorization of 16is 2x2x2x2 The prime factorization of 24is 2x2x2x2x2 The LCM of 8, 16, and 24 is 2x2x2x2x2=48
No - the prime factorization for 48 is 24 x 3.
Prime factorization for 48: 2^4*3
The prime factorization of 48 is 2x2x2x2x3, or 24x3 in exponential form.
48 24,2 12,2,2 6,2,2,2 3,2,2,2,2
24*3
24 x 3 = 48
The prime factorization of 48 is 2X2x2x2x3.
48 24,2 12,2,2 6,2,2,2 3,2,2,2,2
The only number with that prime factorization has to be 48.
The prime factorization of 48 is 2*2*2*2*3
48 is not prime. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 is the prime factorization of 48
To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 24, 40, and 48, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 24 is 2^3 * 3, the prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5, and the prime factorization of 48 is 2^4 * 3. The GCF is the product of the common prime factors raised to the lowest power, which in this case is 2^3 = 8. Therefore, the GCF of 24, 40, and 48 is 8.
