24 is not the greatest common factor of any single number. Common factors are the factors that two or more numbers have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common. There cannot be any common factors or a greatest common factor of a single number. There must be at least two number for common factors and a greatest common factor. Example: The greatest common factor of 24 and 48 is 24. The greatest common factor of 60 and 144 is 24. The greatest common factor of 240 and 264 is 24.

Show the terms as additive here..., 8X2 + 10X3 factor out 2X2 2X2(4 + 5X) ---------------- 2X2 ==== greatest common factor
The GCF is x.
The GCF is 5x
One place where this is used is to simplify fractions: you need to find the greatest common factor, then divide top and bottom by this greatest common factor.Also, in factoring expressions - you can take out the greatest common factor. For example (using "^" for power): 5x^2 + 10x has the greatest common factor 5x; so this can be taken out as a common factor, resulting in 5x(x + 2).
The GCF is x2
