The greatest common factor of 360 , 300 = 60
Factor tree of 40: 40 20,2 10,2,2 5,2,2,2
You either can divide the number, or use the factor tree which is prime factorization or just factorization. However I don't know the answer of that, so you might have to figure that out. :D
Here is a factor tree of eight: 8 / \ 4 2 / \ 2 2
what is the highest common factor of 2
360 180,2 90,2,2 45,2,2,2 15,3,2,2,2 5,3,3,2,2,2
360 180-,2 90,2,2 45,2,2,2 15,3,2,2,2 5,3,3,2,2,2
360 180,2 90,2,2 45,2,2,2 15,3,2,2,2 5,3,3,2,2,2
360 6,60 6,6,10 2,3,6,10 2,3,2,3,10 2,3,2,3,2,5
360 180,2 90,2,2 45,2,2,2 15,3,2,2,2 5,3,3,2,2,2
It is: 2*2*2*3*3*5 = 360
360 72,5 24,3,5 8,3,3,5 4,2,3,3,5 2,2,2,3,3,5
360 180,2 90,2,2 45,2,2,2 15,3,2,2,2 5,3,3,2,2,2
360 / 24 = 15.Since 24 is a factor of 360, and also obviously a factor of itself,it must be the greatest common factor of 24 and 360.
Two is the smallest prime factor of 360.
Since 60 is a factor of 360, it is automatically the GCF.
The HCF of 360 is 360. But it's a factor as opposed to a common factor because there's only one number.
