The greatest common factor (GCF) of 3 and 36 is 3. This is because 3 is a factor of both 3 and 36, and it is the largest factor that they have in common. To find the GCF, you can list the factors of each number and identify the largest one they share.

First of all, there can't be two different things that are both "greatest". You only get one.

3 is a factor of 36, and 3 is also a factor of itself. So it must be the greatest common factor of 3 and 36.

If there was a greater factor common to both 3 and 36, it would have to be greater than 3.
