Konnor Buck · Answer 2

12 is the great common factor in this problem.

Find the prime factorization of 120

120 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Find the prime factorization of 36

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 * 2 * 3

GCF = 12
