Answer:

We found the factors and prime factorization of 48 and 60. The biggest common factor number is the GCF number. So the greatest common factor 48 and 60 is 12.

GCF of numbers is the highest number that can divide both numbers.

The GCF of 48 and 60 is 12

The numbers are given as: 48 and 60.

Factor both numbers

[tex]48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3[/tex]

[tex]60 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5[/tex]

The common factors are:

[tex]Factors = \{2,2,3\}[/tex]

Multiply these factors:

[tex]GCF = 2 \times 2 \times 3[/tex]

[tex]GCF = 12[/tex]

Hence, the GCF of 48 and 60 is 12.
