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.
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).
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 !
(2x2 - 1)(2x2 - 1) or (2x2 - 1)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.
