Depending on what
level you are at, there are some more advanced methods
for finding the GCF. This first one is probably at
the pre-algebra level and the others may not be.
The Prime Factorization Method:
Let's just do one that we did the
other way and I'll walk you through it:
| Find |
 |
 |
List the prime
factorization of each using exponents: |
 |
Take the SMALLER of
each of the exponents... |
 |
Multiply these
together to get the answer: |
Is this
what we got the other way?
Yep!
