Greatest Common Factor

The Greatest Common Factor is the largest number that is a common factor of two or more numbers.

To find the greatest common factor:

• Determine if there is a common factor of the numbers. A common factor is a number that will divide into both numbers evenly. Two is a common factor of 4 and 14.
• Divide both of the numbers by this common factor.
• Repeat this process with the resulting numbers until there are no more common factors.
• Multiply all of the common factors together to get the Greatest Common Factor
