Question

What is the greatest common factor of 32 and 36?

Answer 1

GCF = 4

Explanation:

Greatest Common Factor is :
4
Calculate Greatest Common Factor for :
32, 36

Factorize of the above numbers :
`32 = 2^5=2^2 * 2^3`
`36 = 2^2 * 3^2`

Hope I helped, Good day!

Answer 2

`GCF(32,36)=color(red)4`

Explanation:

Since
`color(white)("XXX")32=color(red)4 xx color(green)8`
and
`color(white)("XXX")36=color(red)4xx color(magenta)9`

and since `color(green)8` and `color(magenta)9` obviously have no common factors (other than `1`)

`color(red)4` must be the greatest common factor of `32` and `36`
