Common Factors<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When two integers are multiplied together, the answer is called a product.<\/strong>
\nThe integers that were multiplied together are called the factors<\/strong> of the product.
\n3 \u2022 6 = 18<\/strong>
\n(3 <\/strong>and 6 <\/strong>are factors of 18)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The greatest common factor<\/strong> of two (or more) integers is the largest integer that is a factor of both (or all) numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Consider the numbers 18, 24, and 36.
\nThe greatest common factor is 6.<\/strong>
\n(6 is the largest integer that will divide evenly into all three numbers)<\/p>\n

The greatest common factor, (GCF), of two (or more) monomials is the product of the greatest common factor of the numerical coefficients (the numbers out in front) and the highest power of every variable that is a factor of each monomial.<\/p>\n
