How do you find the GCF of 6, 8?

1 Answer

Jan 18, 2017

$G C F (6, 8) = 2$ $GCF(6,8)=2$

Explanation:

$Prime factors of (6) = 2 \times 3$ $"Prime factors of "(6)=2xx3$
$Prime factors of (8) = 2 \times 2 \times 2$ $"Prime factors of "(8)=2xx2xx2$

$G C F (6, 8) = G C F (2 \times 3, 2 \times 2 \times 2)$ $GCF(6,8) = GCF(2xx3,2xx2xx2)$

$color(white)("XXXXXX")=2xxGCF(cancel(2)xx3,cancel(2)xx2xx2)$

$color(white)("XXXXXX")=2xxGCF(3,2xx2)$

$color(white)("XXXXXX")=2xx1=2$
