I did help i showed the guy how he already knows how to find a gcf because hes been doing it his whole life anyway. If your gonna curse, go wash your mouth out with soap please.

lmao yea perf i dunno wtf she was talkin about only transformations i know about are LaPlace that was some astrophysics math that only physicists know about.
It's still right even though i copied and pasted it.

So who cares, are you one of those people that thinks dodgeball is a mean game? I wasn't rude and didn't curse and responded to her snooty post. It was funny geez lighten up.

Here try this is called the Euclidean algorithm and is the fastest and easiest way to get a gcf
Say you have 144 and 96
Divide the big number by the smaller number (144/96) and you get 1 with 48 left over
Now you have 96 and 48 left, so again divide the big one by the small one ( 96/48 ) which is equal to 2 with nothing left over. Therefore, 48 is your gcf
Now try 315 and 49
315/49 = 6 with 21 left over
now u have 49 and 21 so divide 49/21 = 2 with 7 left over
now you have 21 and 7 so divide 21/7 = 3 with 0 left over
Therefore your gfc is 7
You can do this with any combination of real numbers.
Then why didn't you help him versus insult him? Essentially I hate stupid questions and users too. But this guy has actually seemed to try and has not been asking us to do his homework as I'm sure you've seen. So why not help him?

I did i just taught him more than his teacher is gonna teach him all week in 1 min in the post above.
Now can you demonstrate how that works finding the GCF of any 5 numbers? LOL

Its the same thing you just have to do it more than once
EDIT :
12 15 33 39 24
Highest 39 lowest 12
39/12 = 3 R 3
12/3 =4 so u get 3
next highest is 33/3 = 11 R 0 so u get 3 again
next highest is 24/3 = 8 R 0 so you get 3 again
next highest is 15/3 = 5 R 0 so you you get 3 again
Therefore GCF: {12,15,24,33,39} = 3
It's called factoring.... use it LOL

I'd mechanize that by factoring, and corraling up all common prime factors ...
<edit> a bit slow on the draw.

That was just an example for him to look at real quick and understand its just as easy as doing it with 2 numbers.
LOL Yes we were taught that for a reason weren't we.
LOL don't much care for the fact the girl was right do you? Too damn funny.....
(now THAT was a snooty, as well as arrogant, post enjoy)

Right about what? A finding a GCF and dividing the prime factors out is factoring lol, you just gave it a name, i just showed all the steps so he could understand.
