Shawnte:

GCF of what

Shawnte:

okay first things first what are the factors of 20 and 24

Noodlearms:

How would I figure that out?

Shawnte:

@Angle @snowflake0531 @simsharrison

Shawnte:

and okay i gotchu i will make a drawing

Noodlearms:

Thank you so much for your help, I've been stumped on this one for a while.

Shawnte:

|dw:1616288221332:dw|

Noodlearms:

Okay, so then I choose one from each side and multiply it?

Shawnte:

whats the largest common number in both categories, 4 right

Noodlearms:

20 and 24

Shawnte:

no no no lemme show u........wwhat is the largest number that is oon both sides

Noodlearms:

10 and 12

Shawnte:

24 is a large number yes, but is it on both sides.....no

Noodlearms:

Ohh, I get it!

Shawnte:

10 and 12 is not the answer

Noodlearms:

4

Shawnte:

YESSS YOU DID IT

Noodlearms:

Woo! Thank you so much!

Shawnte:

wait..........omg wait...........

Shawnte:

I DIDNT SEE THE EXPNET.........SO ITS 48x not 24^2

Shawnte:

but same answwer, 4x

Noodlearms:

So it's 4 x? What about the square root of 2?

Shawnte:

did u see the 24^2.......thats simplified would be 48

Shawnte:

so we needed to find the gcf or 20 and 48..........which is still 4x

Noodlearms:

Alrighty, thanks so much for all your help, I understand it much better now.

Shawnte:

np anytime just hmu anytime you need help it was nice talking to you have a good night

Noodlearms:

You too, and thanks again!

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Noodlearms So it's 4 x? What about the square root of 2? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) this is not square root of 2 there is power (exponent) of 2

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shawnte did u see the 24^2.......thats simplified would be 48 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) 24^2 not equal 48 bc. 24^2 = 24*24 = 576
