Question

Use prime factorization to determine the greatest common factor of 180 and 504

Answer 1

Answer: 36

Explanation:

First you plot down all the factors of 180.*

*180 1, 90 2, 60 3, etc.

Then you do the same for 504.*

*504 1, 252 2, etc.

Once you do that you look through and find the common factor, and you'll find that 180/5=36, and 504/14=36, finding you your GCF.
