Which number below is the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the numbers 24 and 36?
- A.
3
- B.
6
- C.
12
- D.
5
Correct Answer
C. 12Explanation
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest number that divides evenly into two or more numbers. In this case, we need to find the GCF of 24 and 36. We can find the GCF by listing the factors of each number and finding the largest number that appears in both lists. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. The largest number that appears in both lists is 12, so it is the GCF of 24 and 36.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 2Explanation
A prime number is defined as a number that is greater than 1 and can only be divided evenly by 1 and itself. Therefore, a prime number only has two factors: 1 and the number itself. This is because dividing the prime number by any other number would result in a remainder, indicating that it is not a factor. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Neither a Prime nor Composite numberExplanation
The number 1 is neither a prime nor a composite number. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that is divisible only by 1 and itself, while a composite number is a number greater than 1 that has factors other than 1 and itself. Since 1 does not meet the criteria for either definition, it is categorized as neither prime nor composite.Rate this question:
