Greatest Common Factor of 3072 and 2816 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 3072 and 2816.
Prime Factorization of 3072 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 and Prime Factorization of 2816 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 11.
- Factorize\( (3072) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\)
- Factorize\( (2816) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 11\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(3072, 2816) = 1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2 = 256\).
