1. What is the process of finding the factors of an expression which is the reverse process of multiplication? A.factoring B. rationalization C.special product D. continuous division
2. What is the Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 24? A.2 B.4 C.12 D.24
3. Which of the following pair of numbers has a GCF of 6? A.2 and 3 B.8 and 12 C.6 and 10 D.12 and 18
4 What is the GCF of 2a³ and a⁶? A.a³ B.2a³ C.a⁶ D.2a⁶
5. What is the GCF of a⁵b⁸,a³b⁹, and a¹²b¹⁰? A.a⁵b⁸ B.a³b⁶ C.a¹²b⁸ D.a¹²b⁶
because Factoring is the reverse process of multiplication. When factoring, it is always helpful to look for a GCF that can be pulled out of the polynomial expression.
2. C.12
because there are 6 common factors of 12 and 24, that are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 12 and 24 is 12.
3. D.12 and 18
because The greatest common factor (GCF or GCD or HCF) of a set of whole numbers is the largest positive integer that divides evenly into all numbers with zero remainder. For example, for the set of numbers 18, 30 and 42 the GCF = 6.
