What is the GCF for 52, 78

1 answer:

7 0

The GCF means Greatest Common Factor. This is the highest possible factor that multiple numbers have in common.

For example, 5 and 10.

5 = 1 x 5
10 = 1 x 10, 2 x 5
They both have 5 as the highest common factor, so 5 is the GCF.

Now that I've broken down what GCF means, let's factor out our numbers.

52= 1 x 52, 2 x 26, 4 x 13.
78= 1 x 78, 2 x 39, 3 x 26, 6 x 13.

These numbers both have 13 as the highest number.

The GCF of 52 and 78 is 13.

I hope this helps!

There is a bag with only red marbles and blue marbles. The probability of randomly choosing a red marble is 2 9 . There are 63 m

The main idea is the number of marbles and the denominator of the probability. All you have to do is multiply the fraction by a fraction which is equal to 1 which makes the denominator equal to 63. We know 63 is a multiple of 9. 9 goes 7 times in 63 so we multiple the fraction $\frac{2}{9}$ with $\frac{7}{7}$ which gives, $\frac{2 * 7}{9 * 7}$ which when evaluated gives $\frac{14}{63}$ and the numerator is the number of red marbles in the bag. So there are 14 red marbles in the bag :D
