Firstly, a factor of a number is another number that you can divide it by and get a whole number. The factors of 40 are: 1,2,4,5,8,10,20 and 40

The factors of 30 are: 1,2,3,5,6,10,15 and 30

Now, to find the GREATEST common factor of 40 and 30 , we would have to find the biggest number that goes into both 40 AND 30. After reading the factors above, we can see that 10 is the highest number that goes into both numbers, therefore 10 is the greatest common factor of 40 and 30.
