Question

What is the greatest common factor of 1012 and 10580?Pls explain.

Answer 1

First, you can start by finding common factors, to do this just put the numbers into the calculator and see if they can both be divided by the same number.  For example, you could put each number into a calculator and divide by two.  Since the resulting answer would be a whole number for both of them, it is a common factor.

List of Common Factors:
2, 4, 23, 46, and 92

Now since you are trying to find the Greatest Common Factor, it would obviously be 92, since it is the biggest number out of all the factors.

Answer 2

You can use factor trees to do it like dividing by prime numbers
it is 92
