Greatest Common Factor of 160 and 9280 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 160 and 9280.
Prime Factorization of 160 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5 and Prime Factorization of 9280 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5, 29.
- Factorize\( (160) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\)
- Factorize\( (9280) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\times 29\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(160, 9280) = 1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5 = 160\).
Greatest Common Factor of 160 and 9280 by matching factors method
