Question

Drag each pair of numbers to show if their greatest common factor (GCF) is less than 8, equal to 8, or greater than 8?

a)12 and 18
b)2 and 4
c)16 and 24
d)3 and 6
e)12 and 32
f)24 and 36
g)GCF is less than 8
h)GCF is equal to 8
i)GCF is greater than 8

Answer 1

Pairs a), b), d), and e) have a GCF less than 8. Pair c) has a GCF equal to 8, and pair f) has a GCF greater than 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to identify the greatest common factor (GCF) for given pairs of numbers and categorize them as either being less than 8, equal to 8, or greater than 8.

a) 12 and 18: GCF is 6. Thus, their GCF is less than 8.

b) 2 and 4: GCF is 2. Thus, their GCF is less than 8.

c) 16 and 24: GCF is 8. Thus, their GCF is equal to 8.

d) 3 and 6: GCF is 3. Thus, their GCF is less than 8.

e) 12 and 32: GCF is 4. Thus, their GCF is less than 8.

f) 24 and 36: GCF is 12. Thus, their GCF is greater than 8.
