i got 11 is that right i feel like im doing something wrong

OpenStudy (mertsj):

198=2 x 99=2x3x3x11=2x3^2x11 330=2x165=2x5x33=2x3x5x11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not got the test back it was 66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no matter thank you anyways for the help

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now to find the GCF : identify the common factors The common factors are 2, 3, and 11 The smallest power of each common factor is 2^1, 3^1, 11^1 so the GCF is 2x3 11=66
