How you can find the common factors and the greatest common factor of two numbers

One way is to create a factor tree for each number.  Then see which factors they have in common.

Example:

   12                30

   ^                  ^

2    6             3  10

      ^                   ^

    2  3               2  5

The factors are the underlined numbers above:

12: 2 x 2 x 3

30: 2 x 3 x 5

The common factors are: 2, 3, and 6    why 6? because 2 x 3 = 6

The greatest common factor is: 6
