Find the greatest common factor of 24 and 76_______________________

2 answers:

4 0

Using Euclid's algorithm, divide 76 by 24. The result is 3 r 4. Now, divide 24 by the remainder. That result is 6 r 0. Since the remainder is zero, the divisor (4) is the greatest common factor of 76 and 24.

The GCF of 76 and 24 is 4.

_____

Another way to look at it is to factor the two numbers and see what factors they have in common.

76 = 4·19

24 = 4·6

since 6 an 19 have no common factors, 4 is the greatest common factor of 76 and 24.

The greatest common factor(GCF) of 24 and 76 is 4.

4 goes into 24 six times.

4 goes into 76 nineteen times.

Which is the highest factor that can go into the both of them.

Answer:

0.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
