5 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60, the LCM
Thaey are the prime factors of 60
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 5, and 12 is the smallest multiple that all three numbers share. To find the LCM, you need to first find the prime factorization of each number: 4 = 2^2, 5 = 5^1, and 12 = 2^2 * 3^1. Then, you take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers: 2^2 * 3^1 * 5^1 = 60. Therefore, the LCM of 4, 5, and 12 is 60.
Prime factorization of 45 = 3x3x5Prime factorization of 60 = 2x2x3x5Prime factorization of 160 = 2x2x2x2x2x5Only common factors are 5 (and 1).Therefore GCF = 5.
