The GCF of 12 and 36 is 12
The numbers are given as: 12 and 36
Factor both numbers
[tex]\mathbf{12 = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{36 = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3}[/tex]
So, the product of the common factors are:
[tex]\mathbf{GCF = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}[/tex]
Multiply
[tex]\mathbf{GCF = 12}[/tex]
Hence, the GCF of 12 and 36 is 12
