A COMMON FACTOR MEANS A NUMBER - THAT EXISTS BETWEEN TWO NUMBERS 8 , AND 12 THAT CAN BE USED TO PRODUCE EITHER . 8 = 1X 2 X4, 12 = 1X 2 X 2 x 3 . IF YOU SEE BY COMPARING THE , 8 and the 12 THEN NOW , one 1 in the 8 . AND YOhtU SEE one 1, in the 12 there? So would those factors be the greatest common factor? If not , then which one would be?
There's the greatest common factor ; did you say 2 ? Look again a little more ; at the 12 = what?
1 x 2 x 2 x 3 , Right? So 1 isn't it. And 2 or 3 isn't it. But we are allowed to use the 2 x 2 . What do we get? Did you say 4? Right! The greatest common factor is 4.
