Question

What is the GCF of 24 and 36

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

Use the Prime Factorization:

24 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3

36 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 3

GCF(24, 36) = 2 · 2 · 3 = 12

Answer 2

Answer: 12 is the CCF

Explanation:

The factors of 24 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

The factors of 36 are: 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,19,36

the greatest common factor (or common number) is therefore 12.

24=2x12

36=3x12
