Q:

What is the GCF of 112 and 112?

Accepted Solution

A:
Solution: The GCF of 112 and 112 is 112MethodsHow to find the GCF of 112 and 112 using Prime FactorizationOne way to find the GCF of 112 and 112 is to compare the prime factorization of each number. To find the prime factorization, you can follow the instructions for each number here:What are the Factors of 112?What are the Factors of 112?Here is the prime factorization of 112:24×712^4 × 7^124×71And this is the prime factorization of 112:24×712^4 × 7^124×71When you compare the prime factorization of these two numbers, you can see that there are matching prime factors. You can now find the Greatest Common Factor of 112 and 112 by multiplying all the matching prime factors to get a GCF of 112 and 112 as 196:Thus, the GCF of 112 and 112 is: 196How to Find the GCF of 112 and 112 by Listing All Common FactorsThe first step to this method of finding the Greatest Common Factor of 112 and 112 is to find and list all the factors of each number. Again, you can see how this is done by looking at the “Factors of” articles that are linked to above.Let’s take a look at the factors for each of these numbers, 112 and 112:Factors of 112: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112Factors of 112: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112When you compare the two lists of factors, you can see that the common factor(s) are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112. Since 112 is the largest of these common factors, the GCF of 112 and 112 would be 112.Find the GCF of Other Number PairsWant more practice?
