You can use prime factorization to find the GCF of a set of numbers. This often works better for large numbers, where generating lists of all factors can be time-consuming.
Here’s how to find the GCF of a set of numbers using prime factorization:
* List the prime factors of each number.
* Circle every common prime factor — that is, every prime factor that’s a factor of every number in the set.
* Multiply all the circled numbers.
The result is the GCF.
For example, suppose you want to find the GCF of 28, 42, and 70. Step 1 says to list the prime factors of each number. Step 2 says to circle every prime factor that’s common to all three numbers (as shown in the following figure).
As you can see, the numbers 2 and 7 are common factors of all three numbers. Multiply these circled numbers together:
2 · 7 = 14
Thus, the GCF of 28, 42, and 70 is 14.

Answer:140ft2
Step-by-step explanation: area= base times height
Area=14ft . 10ft
Area=140ft2
Answer:
A = 12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter ( of SQUARE) B = 64
then each side = 64/4 = 16
AREA of SQUARE C = 400
side X side = 400
then side = sqrt 400
Now use Pyhtagorean Theorem to find leg of right triangle that is
side A Side B hypotenuse Side C
A^2 + 16^2 = (sqrt 400)^2
A^2 = 400 - 256
A^2 = 144 then A = 12 Ft
