Greatest Common Factor of 48 and 307 by prime factorization method
We will first find the prime factorization of 48 and 307.
Prime Factorization of 48 is 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 and Prime Factorization of 307 is 1, 307.
- Factorize\( (48) = \) \(1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\)
- Factorize\( (307) = \) \(1\times 307\)
Now we need to find any which are common for each number (1, 1) and multiply these numbers together.
\(GCF(48, 307) = 1\times 1 = 1\).
Greatest Common Factor of 48 and 307 by matching factors method
