Since 18 is a factor of 72, it is automatically the GCF, but if you insist...
2 x 3 x 3 = 18
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
2 x 3 x 3 = 18, the GCF

Product of two numbers a and b = LCM(a,b) x GCF(a,b)...(1)Here, product of 18 and 360 = 6480Now, we shall find GCF of 18 and 360 by using the method of prime factorization.Prime factorization of 18 = 2x3x3Prime factorization of 360 = 2x2x2x3x3x5It is clear from the prime factorization that gcf = 18Now using (1) we can find LCM:LCM(18,360) = Product of 18 and 360/GCF(18,360) = 6480/18 = 360So, LCM and GCF of 18 & 360 is 360 and 18.Also, it is important to note that 360 is divisible by 18 then GCF is 18 and LCM is 360.
2 x 32 = 18
2 x 3 x 3 = 18
The prime factorization of 50 is 2x5x5 or 2 x 52. The prime factorization of 18 is 2x3x3 or 2 x 32. The prime factorization of 32 is 2x2x2x2x2 or 25.
The prime factorization of the number 18 is 2 x 3 x 3.
