1. Find the common factors of the given terms.
 
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) 
(v) 
(vi) 
(vii) 
(viii) 
Ans. (i) 
Hence, the common factors are 2, 2 and 3 = 2  2  3 = 12
(ii) 
Hence, the common factors are 2 and  = 
(iii) 
Hence, the common factors are 
(iv) 
Hence, the common factor is 1.
(v) 
Hence, the common factors are 
(vi) 
Hence the common factors are 
(vii) 
Hence the common factors are 
(viii) 
Hence the common factors are
