Question

the prime factorizations of the input values. A sample run is below. User input is in boldface. So you want two numbers factored. Give them to me one by one and I will do the factoring. Number? 12 The lab need to be submitted via Canvas. The prime factorization of 12 is 2*2*3. Number? 1050 The prime factorization of 1050 is 2*3*5*5*7

Answer 1

Answer:

The highest common factor is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two numbers needs to be expressed as a product of its prime factors. In this case:

12      = 2 × 2×3

1050 = 2 ×3×5×5×7

Taking the common numbers we find that the term (2 × 3) is common in both  expressions. Hence 2 × 3 = 6 is the highest common factor.
