Stafford · Answer 1

The highest common factor is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two numbers needs to be expressed as a product of its prime factors. In this case:

12 = 2 * 2*3

1050 = 2 * 3*5*5*7

Taking the common numbers we find that the term (2 * 3) is common in both expressions. Hence 2 * 3 = 6 is the highest common factor.
