Question

What’s the greatest common factor of 48 and 96

Answer 1

Hi!

Let's factor these numbers to find the GCF.

48/2 = 24

24/2 = 12

12/2 = 6

6/2 = 3

3/3 = 1

2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3

96/2 = 48

48/2 = 24

24/2 = 12

12/2 = 6

6/2 = 3

3/3 = 1

2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3

The common factors that they share is 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3

Multiply them and you get 48

The answer is 48.

Hope this helps! :)
