Question

What factors do 8 and 12 have in common?

Answer 1

Common factors are `{1,2,4}`

Explanation:

As `{color(red)1,color(red)2,color(red)4,8}` divide `8`, these are factors of `8`.

Similarly `12` has its factors as `{color(red)1,color(red)2,3,color(red)4,6,12}`

Hence factors that are common to `8` and `12` are `color(red)({1,2,4})`
