Full solution

Q. What is the greatest common factor of 60w,36w2 60 \mathrm{w}, 36 w^{2} , and 24w4 24 w^{4} ?
  1. Identify prime factors: Identify the prime factors of 60w60w. \newline60w=22×3×5×w60w = 2^2 \times 3 \times 5 \times w
  2. Find common factors: Identify the prime factors of 36w236w^2.\newline36w2=22×32×w236w^2 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times w^2
  3. Calculate GCF: Identify the prime factors of 24w424w^4.\newline24w4=23×3×w424w^4 = 2^3 \times 3 \times w^4
  4. Calculate GCF: Identify the prime factors of 24w424w^4. \newline24w4=23×3×w424w^4 = 2^3 \times 3 \times w^4 Find the common prime factors and their lowest powers. \newlineThe common prime factors are 22, 33, and ww. The lowest powers of these factors in the given numbers are 222^2, 33, and ww.
  5. Calculate GCF: Identify the prime factors of 24w424w^4.
    24w4=23×3×w424w^4 = 2^3 \times 3 \times w^4 Find the common prime factors and their lowest powers.
    The common prime factors are 22, 33, and ww. The lowest powers of these factors in the given numbers are 222^2, 33, and ww. Multiply the common prime factors to find the GCF.
    GCF = 22×3×w=4×3×w=12w2^2 \times 3 \times w = 4 \times 3 \times w = 12w
