Why is the greatest common factor of two even numbers always even?
Even numbers, by definition, are divisible by 2. That means that every even number has at least one 2 as a factor. If every even number has one, then any set of even numbers will have at least one 2 as a common factor. Since that number has two as a factor, it's even.
