Calculate the Greatest Common Factor or GCF of 4, 44, 120 and 122
Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 4, 44, 120 and 122 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 1 |
| 44 | 2 |
| 22 | 2 |
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
| 120 | 2 |
| 60 | 2 |
| 30 | 2 |
| 15 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
| 122 | 2 |
| 61 | 61 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 4 | = | 22 |
| Prime factors of 44 | = | 22 . 11 |
| Prime factors of 120 | = | 23 . 3 . 5 |
| Prime factors of 122 | = | 2 . 61 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: 2
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 21
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.
GCF = 21 = 2
