A factor of a number is any number which the original number can divide evenly by (that is, without leaving a remainder or fraction). A common factor is a number which is a factor of the two numbers being considered. 36 cannot divide evenly by 24, and thus 24 is not a factor of 36. Thus, 24 cannot be the greatest common factor of 24 and 36.
