Greatest Common Factor of 32 and 1886 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 32 and 1886.
Prime Factorization of 32 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 and Prime Factorization of 1886 is 1, 2, 23, 41.
- Factorize\( (32) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\)
- Factorize\( (1886) = \) \(1\times 2\times 23\times 41\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 2) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(32, 1886) = 1\times 2 = 2\).
Greatest Common Factor of 32 and 1886 by matching factors method
