Question

Which expression represents the greatest common factor (GCF) of 70 and 112? A. 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 B. 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 C. 2 x 7 D. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{C. \ \ GCF = 2 * 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we'll do prime factorization of these numbers.

70 = 2 × 5 × 7

112 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7

So, The Greatest Common Factor can be written as:

GCF = 2 × 7    [Since Only one 2 and one 7 is common]
