Chapter CSB1.2, Problem 1E

To determine

To calculate: The greatest common factor of the given numbers.

Answer to Problem 1E

The required functional notation for googol is $\text{googol}=1\times {10}^{100}$ and centillion is $\text{centillion}=1\times {10}^{303}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given set of numbers is:

  $6,8$

Calculation:

Consider the first number as:

  $6$

Find the factors of the number:

  $6=2\times 3$

Consider the first number as:

  $8$

Find the factors of the number:

  $8=2\times 2\times 2$

Find the common factor from the two numbers:

  $2$

Hence, the required greatest common factor is $2$ .
