Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Prime factors of 60 = 2² . 3 . 5
• Prime factors of 96 = 2⁵ . 3
• Prime factors of 144 = 2⁴ . 3²

Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent...

Common prime factors: 2 , 3

Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 22, 31

Calculate the Greatest Common Factor or GCF

Remember, to find the GCF of several numbers you must multiply the common prime factors with the lowest exponent.

GCF = 22, 31 = 12
