Common factors of two or more given numbers are expressed as prime numbers that all given numbers can be divided by and still result in a whole number. The smallest Prime number is 2. Since the largest of the two numbers (14) divided by 2 is 7, the primes that exist beginning with 2 and ending with 7 are: 2, 5 and 7 Since 8 is not divisible into a whole number by either 5 or 7, the only common factor for both 8 and 14 is 2.
