Question

What is the GCF of 24a 3 b and 36ab 2?

Answer 1

not sure if the 2 at the end is part of it all because with it the GCF can only be 1 

but,

the GCF of  24a, 3b and 36ab is 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

The GCF of 24a, 3b and 36ab is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of 24 is = 24a/2a = 12 , where 2 is the first factor

                                 = 12/2 = 6

                                 = 6/2 = 3

                                 = 3/3 = 1

factors of 24 : 2a, 2, 2, 3.

factors of 3 : 3

To find the factors of 36ab;   36ab/2ab  = 18

                                              = 18/ 2 = 9

                                              = 9/3   = 3

                                              = 3/3   = 1

factors of 36ab: 2, 2, 3, 3

So, the highest or greatest common factors within 24a, 3b and 36ab = 3
