Definition
Factors that are shared by two or more whole numbers are called common factors. The greatest of these common factors is called the greatest common factor (GCF).
Examples:
Factors of 12: 1,2,3,4,6,12
Factors of 32: 1,2,4,8,16,32
Common Factors: 1,2,4
Largest Common Factor = 4 = GCF

Examples
Find the GCF of 24 and 60
Method 1: List the factors
Factors of 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Factors of 60: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Largest common factor = 12 = GCF
Method 2: Use Prime Factorizations
24 = 2223
60 = 2235
Factors they have in common: 2,2
GCF = 22 = 4
