Best Answer

Since the p and the q have nothing in common, the common factor will just be for the coefficients (number part of the terms). The prime factors (from a factor tree) of 12 are 2 x 2 x 3, and those of 30 are 2 x 3 x 5. The only ones they both have in common are 2 and 3, so we multiply these and get the greatest common factor of 6.
