What is the GCF of 132 and 432

To get the Greates Common Factor (GCF) of 132 and 432 we need to factor each value first and then we choose all the copies of factors and multiply them:

132: 2 2 3 11

432: 2 2 2 2 3 3 3

GCF: 2 2 3

The Greates Common Factor (GCF) is: 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 132

132 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 11

Find the prime factorization of 432

432 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3

To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 * 2 * 3

GCF = 12
