A factor is a divisor - a number that will evenly divide into another number. The greatest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest factor that both numbers have in common.

One way to determine the common factors and greatest common factor is to find all the factors of the numbers and compare them.

The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10.

The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

The common factors are 1 and 2. Therefore, the greatest common factor is 2.
I believe the answer is two....
