First we need to find the prime factorization of each expression: 3*3: 3*3 6*y: 3*2*y 9*2: 3*3*2 12*2y*2: 3*2*2*2*y Now look at each line and see what "terms" (note that each number counts as one "term") all four lines have in common. The only "term" in common is one 3, thus the greatest common factor is 3. Note: I assumed "12x2y2" meant 12*2*2*y, if it's 12*2*y^2, the prime factorization becomes: 3*2^2*y*y. The greatest common factor does not change, however. * is the multiplication symbol (3*3 means 3+3+3). ^ is the exponential function (i.e. the small number that is written on the top half of a standard line, 4^2 means 4*4).

What is the greatest common divisor between 9 and 11?

To find the LCM of two numbers you first express them as their prime factors. In this case we have: 9 = 3x3 11 = 11 The next step would be to identify any common factors. In this case there are none, so simply take all the factors (3, 3 and 11) and multiply them together: 3x3x11 = 99 Thus the LCM of 9 and 11 is 99.


What is the least common multiple and greatest common factor of 8 and 12?

8=2^312=3x2^2To find the LCM take 2^3x3=24To find the gcf take 2^2=4I factored them into primes and took the largest factors to find the LCM and the smalles to find the gcf.Dr. Chuckakamathdoc


What is the greatest common factor of 42 56 and 72?

42=2x3x7 56=2^3x7 72=2^3x3^2 so the GCF is 2 since we have a 2,3, and 7 in the first number and a 2 and a 7 in the second and a 2 and a 3 in the third. The common factors are (is) 2 The GCF is 2 Doctor Chuck
