Expressing each number as the product of prime numbers can help in taking out common factor.

Prime factorization of 90 = 2x3x3x5 = 21x32x51

Prime factorization of 216 = 2x2x2x3x3x3 = 23x33

It is clear that 2x3x3 or 21x32 is common in P.F. of both numbers.

So, the highest common factor is 2x3x3 = 18.
