Hosts explain greatest common factor and prime factorization using 144, 36 and 150
Maggie Mixon and Canelo Paredo demonstrated prime factorization and using prime factors to find the greatest common factor (GCF = 36 for 144 and 36), and they showed 150 = 2 * 3 * 5^2 using exponents.
The full story
The program reviewed how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) by prime-factorization and demonstrated with the pair 144 and 36. Maggie Mixon broke 144 into prime factors (2' 4 * 3') and 36 into its prime factors, and the hosts identified the common primes 2, 2, 3, 3 and multiplied them to get 36.
