Question

use the drop-down menus and the prime factorizations of these numbers to help you complete the statements.

prime factorization of 30: \\(2 \times 3 \times 5\\)
prime factorization of 45: \\(3 \times 3 \times 5\\)

the factors drop-down are common to both factorizations.
the gcf of 30 and 45 is drop-down.

Calculate the Greatest Common Factor

$$ \text{GCF} = 3 \times 5 = 15 $$

Answer:

Use the drop-down menus and the prime factorizations of these numbers to help you complete the statements.

Prime factorization of 30: \(2 \times 3 \times 5\)

Prime factorization of 45: \(3 \times 3 \times 5\)

The factors <blank>3 and 5</blank> are common to both factorizations.
The GCF of 30 and 45 is <blank>15</blank>.
