Find the greatest common divisor of 252 and 60

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common divisor (gcd) is also known by the name highest common factor (hcf), greatest common factor (gcf).

Greatest common factor of two number can be defined as the highest integer that divides both the number.

We have to find greatest common divisor of 252 and 60.

The prime factorization of 252 is:

252 = 2*2*3*3*7

The prime factorization of 60 is:.

60 = 2*2*3*5

Common factors are: 2*2*3

Hence, greatest common divisor of 252 and 60 = 2*2*3 = 12
