The factors of 48 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24 and 48. You need another set of factors to compare them with to find a GCF.
You need at least two factor trees to find a GCF.

greatest common factor the tree way:ex:25&30 25 30 ^ ^ 5x5 5x6 5x5 are prime numbers so leave it. 5x ^ 5x2x3 2x3=6 then line them up like this:25:5x5 30:5x2x3 then make sum matches.5 and 5 are the only matches so the greatest common factors are 5
That doesn't really exist. A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that can divide evenly with no remainder into a given set of numbers.
Trees aren't necessary. The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is always infinite.

All I did was make a factor tree. The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is 5. :)

2 is a prime number, it doesn't have a factor tree. You can save time and effort by remembering that if the smaller of a pair of numbers is a factor of the larger one, it is automatically the GCF. The GCF of 2 and 36 is 2.
Since 25 is a factor of 75, it is automatically the GCF, but if you insist... 25 5,5 75 25,3 5,5,3 Select the common factors. 5 x 5 = 25, the GCF
Ah, finding the greatest common factor is like finding a happy little tree in a forest. For 36 and 81, we look for the largest number that can divide evenly into both. The greatest common factor for 36 and 81 is 9, like a gentle breeze on a sunny day.
It doesn't matter what method you use, you still need at least two numbers to find something in common.
