The Greatest Common Factor (GCF)of 2 numbers is the largest number that can divide into both numbers. Find the GCF of 8and 24. Write the prime factorization of each number.
GCF of 8 and 24 • The prime factorization of 8 is: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 • The prime factorization of 24 is: 2 x 2 x 2 x3 = 24 • The shared factors are 2x2x2 so the GCF is 8
Find the GCF of 42 and 60 • = 2 • 3 • 7 • 60 = 2 • 2 • 3 • 5 What prime factors do the numbers have in common? Multiply those numbers. The GCF is 2 • 3 = 6 6 is the largest number that can go into 42 and 60!
Find the GCF of 40 and 48. 40= 2 • 2 • 2 • 5 48= 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 3 What do they have in common? Multiply the factors together. GCF = 8
What is the GCF of 48 and 64? • 2 • 4 • 8 • 16
