Prime Factorization - Is Number a Factor of Both - From Values as Factors (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on advanced skills in prime factorization, specifically determining if a number is a factor of two other numbers using their prime factorizations. Each problem presents a factor and two products, expressed in prime factorized form, and asks students to determine if the given factor is indeed a factor of both products. The choices provided for each question are simply "Yes" or "No." This set of problems is part of a broader unit exploring Factoring and the Greatest Common Factor at an advanced level.
