Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 60, 80, 88 and 104 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 60 | 2 |
| 30 | 2 |
| 15 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
| 80 | 2 |
| 40 | 2 |
| 20 | 2 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
| 88 | 2 |
| 44 | 2 |
| 22 | 2 |
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
| 104 | 2 |
| 52 | 2 |
| 26 | 2 |
| 13 | 13 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 60 | = | 22 . 3 . 5 |
| Prime factors of 80 | = | 24 . 5 |
| Prime factors of 88 | = | 23 . 11 |
| Prime factors of 104 | = | 23 . 13 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: 2
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 22
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 = 22 = 4
