2x2 (i.e. 4)
Prime factor each number. Use each prime the most it was used in any one number. 5=5 6=2x3 8=2x2x2 12=2x2x3 2x2x2x3x5=120
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. A common prime factor is a prime factor that appears on the list of factors of two or more given numbers.
A factor can or cannot be a prime number Ex: 2 is the factor of all other even numbers its a prime number but 9 is a factor of 18 and its not a prime number A prime is a factor but a factor being a prime number varies
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
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

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

Prime factor each number then use each prime factor the most times it was used in any single number. 32=2x2x2x2x2 30=2x3x5 12=2x2x3 8=2x2x2 LCM=2x2x2x2x2x3x5=480
