<u>Answer: </u>

The greatest common factor of 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3} \text { is } 4 a b

<u>Solution: </u>

To find the greatest common factor we have to find the prime factors of individual numbers and then find the number which is common to each given number.

Here the numbers are 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3}

Let us find out the prime factors of each number .

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Prime factors of } 12 a^{3} b=2 \times 2 \times 3 \times a \times a \times a \times b} \\ {\text { Prime factors of } 16 a^{2} b^{2}=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times a \times a \times a \times b \times b} \\ {\text { Prime factors of } 36 a b^{3}=2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times a \times b \times b \times b}\end{array}

We can see that 2 \times 2 \times \mathrm{a} \times \mathrm{b}  is common to all the given numbers 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3}

Therefore the greatest common factor of 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3} \text { is } 2 \times 2 \times a \times b=4 a b

A car rents for $40 per day plus 18¢ per mile. You are on a daily budge of $67. What mileage will allow you to stay within your
IrinaVladis [17]
Out of your $67 for the day, $40 of it goes to the rental before you even drive it out of the lot.  That leaves you $27 a day for mileage.

$27 / $0.18 per mile = <u>150 miles</u> per day, tops.
