Find all factors that the numbers have in common. You can also determine the GCF if you have both numbers and variables. Factorize the numbers and identify all common factors. To get the GCF multiply all common factors.
Given:
40,000 mg = 10x g
1 gram is equal to 1000 milligram
40,000 mg * 1 gram/1,000 mg = 40,000 g / 1,000 = 40 gram
40 grams = 10x g
40 grams / 10 grams = x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
40000 mg = 10x g
40000 mg = 10(4) g
40000 mg = 40 g
