Full solution

Q. What is the greatest common factor of 6a,8a2 6 a, 8 a^{2} , and 1414 ?
  1. Find GCF of 6a6a and 8a28a^2: List the prime factors of each term to find the GCF.\newlinePrime factors of 6a6a: 22, 33, aa\newlinePrime factors of 8a28a^2: 22, 22, 22, aa, aa\newlinePrime factors of 8a28a^222: 22, 8a28a^244
  2. Identify common prime factors: Identify the common prime factors among all three terms.\newlineThe common prime factors are: 22
  3. Determine highest power of common prime factors: Determine the highest power of the common prime factors that is present in all three terms.\newlineSince the term 1414 does not have the factor 'aa', 'aa' cannot be part of the GCF.\newlineThe highest power of 22 that is present in all three terms is 212^1 (or just 22).
  4. Combine common prime factors to find GCF: Combine the common prime factors to find the GCF.\newlineThe GCF is 22.
