Prime factors of 12 2x2x3 Prime factors of 36 2x2x3x3 Greatest common factor of 12 and 36 = 2x2x3 = 12
2x2x3 = 12
a factor strip is three numbers all primes that make up another prime number. like 3x3x2 are all primes and it makes 27. Also 2x2x3 = 18

factor all three then use the prime numbers that are in all three. 36=2x2x3x3 48=2x2x2x2x3 2x2x3=12 the gcf
