You can find the prime factors of all three numbers, combine (multiply) those numbers and remove redundant factors. So if your numbers are 4, 6 and 8, then those factors are (2*2), (3*2), and (2*2*2) respectively. The GCF is 24 or (2*2*2*3). This is because 24 can be written as a multiple of all three numbers because 24 can be written as a multiple of 2 4 and 6. (2*2*3*(2)) (2*3*(4)) and (2*2*(6)). If this is still unclear you can check the Wikipedia Article on LCM.
Prime numbers have exactly two factors. 3 has exactly two factors: 1 and 3. So 3 is prime. Composite numbers have more than two factors. 4 is composite because it has three factors: 1, 2, and 4.
Composite numbers are those numbers which have more than 2 factors. Example: 4 has more than 2 factors (factors of 4 are- 1, 2 and 4) and hence is a composite number. Other examples are 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 etc.
Factors. example: 2 x 2 = 4 there, 2 and 2 are the 2 numbers you multiply, factors are the numbers you multiply together. It can be more that 2 factors.
Four has only three factors: 1 2 4.
Factors don't have numbers. Numbers have factors. Numbers that have the factors 2, 4 and 8 are 8 and all of its multiples.
All composite numbers have more than two factors. The smallest such number is 4, which is equal to 2 x 2. 4 has three factors: 1, 2, and 4.
The common factors of the three numbers are 1, 2, and 4.
8, 88, 808808088 are three examples.
They are: 8, 16 and 24
Four only has three factors: 1, 2 and 4. For any of them to be a GCF, they need to be compared to another set of numbers.
Numbers that have 2 factors are prime numbers; Numbers that have 4 factors are either: * the cube of a prime; or * the product of two different primes; Numbers that have 8 factors are either: * a prime to the power 7; * the product of a prime cubed and different prime; * the product of three different primes.
Calculate the least common multiple of the three numbers. Any multiple of that has all those numbers as factors.
What two numbers have the factors 2 4 and 8
Three. The common factors are: 1, 2, 4.

The factors of 2 are:1, 2The factors of 4 are:1, 2, 4The factors of 32 are:1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32The common factors are:1, 2
