Question

What is the greatest common factor of 48 and 64?

Answer 1

The GCF of 48 and 64 is 16

Explanation:

To figure out GCF, you make a list of all the prime factors, pick out the numbers they have in common, and multiply them together. In this case:

48: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

64: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

They have four 2's in common, so you multiply 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 =16
