Finding the GCF of Counting Numbers - # 3

[Jason]

What is the GCF of 46 and 88?

\(A: 46 \longrightarrow 23 * 2 \longrightarrow 23^{1} * 2^{1}\)

\(B: 88 \longrightarrow 44 * 2 \longrightarrow (22 * 2) * 2 \longrightarrow 22^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} \longrightarrow 22^{1} * 2^{2} \longrightarrow 22^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} \)

\(OLP-CTB = 2^{1}\)

\(GCF = 2^{1} = 2\)
