No, 2x2x3 is not a prime factor. The prime factors of a number are the prime numbers that multiply together to give that number. In this case, 2x2x3 simplifies to 12, which can be further broken down into 2x2x3. The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3.
The greatest common of 4 and 34 is 2.Factors for 4 = 1x4, 2x2 = 1,2,4Factors for 34 = 1x34, 2x17 = 1,2,17,34Therefore, the GCF is.............(drumroll, please).............2 !
You would first factor out anything that is common between the 3 parts. 2x2 is the greatest common factor. To pull out the 2x2, you divide each term by 2x2 like so:12x4/2x2=6x210x3/2x2=5x-12x2/2x2=-6We now know that 12x4+10x3-12x2= 2x2(6x2+5x-6)The next step involves using the "slip and slide" method for the trinomial inside the parentheses:6x2+5x-6x2+5x-36(x+9)(x-4)(x+9/6)(x-4/6)(x+3/2)(x-2/3)(2x+3)(3x-2)Remembering that the result for the slip and slide method only accounts for 6x2+5x-6 we must multiply (2x+3)(3x-2) by 2x2.Your final answer is 2x2(2x+3)(3x-2).
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12, 28, and 40, you need to identify the factors of each number. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. The greatest common factor among these numbers is 4.
(2x2 - 1)(2x2 - 1) or (2x2 - 1)2
Show the terms as additive here..., 8X2 + 10X3 factor out 2X2 2X2(4 + 5X) ---------------- 2X2 ==== greatest common factor
2 x 2
No, 2x2x3 is not a prime factor. The prime factors of a number are the prime numbers that multiply together to give that number. In this case, 2x2x3 simplifies to 12, which can be further broken down into 2x2x3. The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3.
2x2x3=12 so therefore 12=2x2x3 2x2=4x3=12
The GCF of 4 and 12 is 4.
12 = 2x2x3 20 = 2x2x5 the both have 2x2 in common = 4
2: 2x2=4 , 4x2=8, 12x2=24
To find the greatest common factor and lowest common multiple of two numbers, you first need to split those numbers up into their prime factors. In this case: 8 = 2x2x2 12 = 2x2x3 The next step is to identify any common factors. In this case the common factors are two 2s. To find the greatest common factor, you multiply these together: 2x2 = 4. A quick way to find the lowest common multiple is to multiply the two original numbers together and divide by the greatest common factor. So 8x12/4 = 24. Thus 24 is the lowest common multiple.
GCF comes from more than one term. To do that you need to prime factor each of the numbers and then multiply all the factors that are common. Let's do 12 and16. 12=2x2x3 16=2x2x2x2 Common factors are 2x2=4
If you are talking of 20 and 24 then factor both to prime factors. 20=2x2x5 24=2x2x2x3 circle the common ones. 2x2=4 the greatest common factor.
Prime factor each number. Circle all the prime common factors then, multiply them 28=2x2x7 32=2x2x2x2x2 GCF=2x2=4
The GCF is 2 x 2, or 4.
