WILL FAN AND METAL: How do you find the greatest common factor between 24a squared and 60ab?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[24a^2\] and \[60ab\]?

OpenStudy (cjay99):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is an \(a\) in both right?

OpenStudy (cjay99):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about 60 and 24? what is the largest number that goes in to both evenly ? if you don't know, guess and i will check

OpenStudy (cjay99):

4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do better than 4

OpenStudy (cjay99):

12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what @mikey356333 said, 12 goes in to both evenly since \(12\times 2=24\) and \(12\times 5=60\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so final answer is \(12a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i said that so i was right

OpenStudy (cjay99):

what about the b?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

@mikey356333 your fatal flaw was that you gave an immediate answer and did not care to explain ^_^ try explaining next time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was trying to i cant type fast

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

okay then put the explanation and your answer in the same box instead of doing it individualy :) thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(b\) is a factor of \(60ab\) but \(24a^2\) doesn’t have a \(b\) in it

OpenStudy (cjay99):

okay thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

polynomial gcd [24a2,60ab

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not done hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am done

OpenStudy (cjay99):

Thanks everyone!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gave u medal and ur welcome
