​What is the GCF?

​Factors that are shared by two or more numbers are called common factors. The greatest of the common factors is called the greatest common factor (GCF). One way to find the GCF of two or more numbers is by listing factors.

Multiple Choice

A composite number ...

• has more than 2 factors.
• has one factor.
• has at least 10 factors.
• is always a really big number.

Multiple Choice

A prime number...

• has one factor.
• has more than 2 factors.
• has 100 factors.
• has exactly 2 factors: 1 and the itself.

Multiple Choice

9.) Find the prime factorization of 100 in exponential form.

• 10 × 10

• 5⁴

• 4 x 25

• 2² × 5²
