Q. 3. The greatest common factor of 200×3 and 2×300 isA) 2×3B) 20×30C) 23×100D) 200×300
Prime Factorization: First, let's write down the prime factorization of each number.200×3=23×52×32×300=2×22×3×52
Find Common Factors: Now, we find the common factors in both prime factorizations.The common factors are 23, 3, and 52.
Calculate GCF: Multiply the common factors to find the GCF.GCF = 23×3×52
Match with Options: Calculate the GCF.GCF = 8×3×25GCF = 24×25GCF = 600
Match with Options: Calculate the GCF.GCF = 8×3×25GCF = 24×25GCF = 600Now, let's match our GCF with the given options.600 is not explicitly listed, but it can be written as 2×300, which is option D.
