Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 23, 452 and 458 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
23 | 23 |
1 |
452 | 2 |
226 | 2 |
113 | 113 |
1 |
458 | 2 |
229 | 229 |
1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
Prime factors of 23 | = | 23 |
Prime factors of 452 | = | 22 . 113 |
Prime factors of 458 | = | 2 . 229 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: None
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: None
4. Calculate the Greatest Common Factor or GCF
Remember, to find the GCF of several numbers you must multiply the common prime factors with the lowest exponent.
Since there are not common prime factors the GCF is 1
