Because 4 is the largest number that will divide into both of those numbers evenly, with no remainder.
for example1. The largest number that goes exactly into both 8 and 12 is 4, so the Greatest Common Factor is 4.2. Divide both top and bottom by 4: ÷ 48 = 2123÷ 4And the answer is: 2/3
The greatest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4.
Because 60 is the smallest number that both 12 and 20 will divide into evenly.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that two or more numbers will divide into evenly and 12 is the smallest number that both 4 and 6 divide into evenly.
12!
Because 4 is the largest number that will divide into both of those numbers evenly, with no remainder.
You first have to find there greatest common factor (the biggest number that can be divide into both numbers) in this case it would be 12. You then divide 12 by 12 which equals 1.Then divide 12 by 72 which equals 6. Then you put your numerator or top number over your denominator or bottom number. Which should leave you with 1 over 6
6 is the greatest number that will divide into all three of them evenly.
Divide 4, the GCF, into both numbers. 8/12 can be reduced to 2/3.
Yes. Divide both numbers by their greatest common factor = 2.
The greatest common factor of 11 and 12 is the number 1.
12/24 is the same as 1/2. To simplify a fraction you have to find the largest number that you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by evenly. In this case, that number is 12 because you can divide both 12 and 24 by 12. Once you divide, your new answer is 1/2.
It is: 12
The greatest possible remainder is 11.
The greatest common factor is numbers, lets say it's 12, and 8. Since 4 is the greatest you can divide 8, and 12, it is the GCF of that problem. To find the GCF, You need to know, Can I divide the lowest number? If so, You have completed the first step. Second, You see what can be divided into both, so there's no remainder, or no decimal. The greatest common factor of this is 2.
for example1. The largest number that goes exactly into both 8 and 12 is 4, so the Greatest Common Factor is 4.2. Divide both top and bottom by 4: ÷ 48 = 2123÷ 4And the answer is: 2/3
