4-2 Factors and Prime Factorization

Course 1


Factors shared by two or more whole numbers are called common factors. The largest of the common factors is called the greatest common factor, or GCF.

Factors of 24:

Factors of 36:

Common factors:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,

1, 2, 3, 4, 6,

The greatest common factor (GCF) of 24 and 36 is 12.

Example 1 shows three different methods for finding the GCF.
