12
It means to separate the number into (integer) factors; for each factor continue looking for factors; until no further division into factors is possible, i.e., until all factors are prime numbers.For example, 12 = 2 x 6 = 2 x 2 x 3. Since 2 and 3 are prime numbers, this is the solution of the problem of expressing as a product of prime numbers.
First, write both numbers as the product of their prime factors: 9 = 3x3 12 = 2x2x3 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case, both numbers have 3 as a prime factor. Therefore, the HCF of 9 and 12 is 3.
17 is a prime number. 8 and 12 are not prime numbers.
2 and 3 are prime numbers that are factors of 12. There is an infinite list of prime numbers that aren't.

2 x 2 x 3
It means to separate the number into (integer) factors; for each factor continue looking for factors; until no further division into factors is possible, i.e., until all factors are prime numbers.For example, 12 = 2 x 6 = 2 x 2 x 3. Since 2 and 3 are prime numbers, this is the solution of the problem of expressing as a product of prime numbers.
To find the HCF of two numbers you first need to express them as the product of their prime factors: 12 = 2x2x3 60 = 2x2x3x5 The next step is to identify any common factors. In this case, both numbers have two 2s and a 3 as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get 2x2x3=12 Thus the HCF of 12 and 60 is 12.
2 x 2 x 3 = 12
to find a product of prime factors lets say you have 108 and you have to find the product of prime factors you should divide by 2 and then find the answer so 54, 54 isn't prime so you keep goin until the 2 numbers are prime and then you put down the prime numbers with a times in between. heather age 12

2 and 3 are prime numbers that are factors of 12. There is an infinite list of prime numbers that aren't.
23 (Prime) + 29 (Also Prime) = 52
The prime numbers between 12 and 48 are 13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47.
To find the HCF of 12 and 16, you first express them as the product of their prime factors: 12 = 2x2x3 16 = 2x2x2x2 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have two 2s as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get 4. Therefore the HCF of 12 and 16 is 4.
