7. Which factors do 24 and 36 have in common?
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 36
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The largest factor they both have in common is 12!
GCF: 12

10. Find GCF by using prime factorization
Step One: Make a factor tree for each number
Ex:
Confidential

11. Circle the prime factors in common
Step 2
Circle the prime factors in common
54: 2, 3, 3, 3
81: 3, 3, 3, 3
Confidential

12. Step 3 Multiply the common prime factors
Notice that 54 and 81 share three 3’s in common.
To get our answer we will multiply 3 x 3 x 3.
Our GCF is 27!

13. Let’s look at another example!
36: 2, 2, 3, 3
24: 2, 2, 2, 3
36 and 24 share two 2’s and one 3 in common.
GCF: 12
