A greatest common factor is the largest number that goes into two or more numbers (in this case two). To find the GCF of two numbers, we have to find the prime factorization (how to express a number as a product of prime numbers) and then see which numbers are common in both of the prime factorizations.
13. The prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2. The prime factorization of 26 is 2 * 13. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can see that both of them have 2. That means that the GCF is 1 * 2 which is 2.
12. The prime factorization of 105 is 3 * 5 * 7. The prime factorization of -30 is -5 * 6. We see that the number shared 5. That means that the GCF is 5 * 1 or 5.
Answer:
length = 36 ft; width = 12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x.
The length is 3x.
The perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, and it equals 96 ft.
3x + 3x + x + x = 96
8x = 96
x = 12
Width = x = 12 ft
Length = 3x = 3(12 ft) = 36 ft
Answer:
w=40
Step-by-step explanation:
120*1/3=40
Therefore, w=40
Answer: 3/8
Explanation: To subtract unlike fractions such as 5/8 - 1/4, first find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 4 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 4 which is 8.
Notice that our first fraction already has 8 in the denominator so it stays the same. To get 8 in the denominator of 1/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/8.
Now we have 5/8 - 2/8.
To subtract like fractions, we simply subtract the numerators to get 3 and keep our denominator of 8 and we have 3/8.
Since 3/8 is in lowest terms, it's our final answer.
Therefore, 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8.
It is actually not 28 because the volume of a cylinder is: pi r^2 x h which in this case is pi x 36 x 4 which equals 452.39 rounded up
