Answer:
[tex]96 = 2^5 × 3;[/tex]
[tex]96 \: is \: not \: a \: prime, is \: a \: composite \\ \: number;[/tex]
[tex]124 = {2}^{2} \times 31[/tex]
[tex]124 \: is \: not \: a \: prime, is \: a \: \\ composite \: number;[/tex]
Positive integers that are only dividing by themselves and 1 are called prime numbers. A prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself.
* A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one factor (divisor) other than 1 and itself.
Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor).
Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents (if any).
Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor):
