First compute  of what is the GCF of 52 and 12.

anonymous · Answer

The GCF for 52 and 12 is 4 and the GCF for 5 and 4 is 1

anonymous · Answer

do the prime factorization of each an it shoud be easy to see.  it doesn't look as if your choices contain the actual answer, though.

anonymous · Answer

do the prime factorization of 5 and 1?

calculusxy · Answer

If I'm not wrong, do the prime factorisation of 5 and 4.

anonymous · Answer

52 x 5 = 2*2*13*5
12 x 4 = 2*2*2*2*3

What's the gcd?

k

anonymous · Answer

that'd change things a little...

$$52x ^{4}= 2*2*13*x*x*x*x*x,12x ^{4}=2*2*3*x*x*x*x$$
