All nonzero numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are known as common factors.
Common factors are factors that two or more numbers have in common. These are factors that are the same. All integers will have 1 as a common factor. Some integers will have additional common factors. For example, 4 and 6 have as their common factors 1 and 2.
Numbers that evenly divide one or more numbers

Ex: 2 is a common factor for the numbers 4 and 6
