Both are primes, so their gcf is 1.

But..

If you're using the stupid SwitchedOn Online Integrated Math course, they say it's 3.

I couldn't tell you why, but I put 1, knowing they're both prime (and 1 goes into both), and they said it was wrong.

So. Yay for idiot mathing :)
The GCF of 3 and 5 is 1. To help you understand this, here are the factors of each.

3 5

1x3 1x5

1 is the greatest factor that is common out of both of them.
