It's a method some people use when finding an LCM. It helps with larger numbers when you're using exponents. Example: 360 and 450

23 x 32 x 5 = 360

2 x 32 x 52 = 450

The LCM will be a number that incorporates the greatest powers (exponents) of these factors. 23 is greater than 2(1), 52 is greater than 5(1), 32 and 32 are equally great. The LCM of 360 and 450 is 23 x 32 x 52 which is 8 x 9 x 25 which is 1800.

How can you find the CFC of two factors?

To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of two factors, first list the factors of each number. Then, identify the common factors between them. The GCF is the largest of these common factors. Alternatively, you can use the prime factorization method, where you break down each number into its prime factors and multiply the lowest powers of all common prime factors.
