50 ^ 10x5 ^ l 2x5x5 PF:2x5x5
2x5x5
The answer is 2x5x5 or 2x 5 to the 2nd power
50
The highest common factor depends entirely on the second number, as a highest common factor is the highest factor shared by two or more numbers. The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50. The prime factorisation of 50 is 2x5x5.
2x5x5
2x5x5=50
2 x 5 x 5 = 50
50 = 2 x 5 x 5
To work this out, you first have to break the two numbers into their prime factors: 50 = 2x5x5 54 = 2x3x3 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have a 2 as a prime factor. Therefore the GCF of 50 and 54 is 2.
The prime factors of 50 are: 2 and 5
To find the greatest factor of a number (other than itself) you first need to find the prime factors of that number. In this case, the prime factors of 100 are 2, 2, 5 and 5. The next step is to multiply all these together, except the smallest (2). This means you multiply 2x5x5. That works out at 50. Thus the greatest factor of 100 (other than itself) is 50.
