Question

find the common factor between 8x and 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

The highest common factor (HCF) of two (or more) numbers is the largest common factor. So, the common factors of 8 and 12 are 1, 2 and 4; and 4 is the largest common factor.

hope it helps:)

Answer 2

Concept:

The common factor of any two expression is nothing the HCF that is highest common factor between them.

Given:

The two given expressions are 8x and 12

Find:

We are ask to determine the common factor between them

Solution:

First of all find prime factorization of both the given numbers

$8x=2\times 2\times 2\times x$

12 = 2x2x3

Here the HCF will be 2x2 that is 4

Therefore the common factor is 4

Hence the final answer is 4.
