The easiest way to find that answer is to first factor 72 into prime format:
72 = 2x36 = 2x2x18 = 2x2x2x9 = 2x2x2x3x3
Now, look for prime numbers that occur in pairs, as any pair of like numbers in prime factorial can be combined to form a square, thus:
2x2x2x3x3 = 2(2x2)(3x3) = 2(4)(9)
Lastly, multiply your square numbers together (the product of multiplying squares together will always yield another square) to get your answer:
(4)(9) = 36, which is the largest whole-number, square factor of 72.
