1. Factors are numbers you can multiply together to get another number Example: 2 and 3 are factors of 6, because 2 × 3 = 6 Objectives: SWBAT 1) find the GCF of integers and monomials and 2) factor using the distributive property

2. Greatest Common Factor: is the largest positive integer that divides the numbers without a remainder Example 1: Find the greatest common factor of 18 and 24. Example 2: Find the greatest common factor 20 and 35.

3. Example 2: To Find the GCF of Monomials : 1)Find the GCF of the coefficients 2)Find the GCF of the variables -Only variables in common (use the lowest exponent)

4. Example 3: Find the greatest common factor.
