Find the GCF of 24 and 60 by using Prime factorization of each number.?

The greatest common factor is the product of the prime factors that the numbers have in common.

Prime factorization of 24: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

Prime factorization of 60: 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

The common prime factors are 2,2 and 3. So, the greatest common factor (GCF) is 2 *2 * 3 or 12.
