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.

How do you find the greatest whole number?
There is no greatest whole number. If x were the greatest whole number then what about x+1? It would be greater than x and it would be a whole number!
The largest whole number that divides evenly into two or more given numbers?
The greatest common factor is a number that divides evenly into two or more numbers. It is also called the highest common factor or greatest common divisor.
What is the Least and greatest number of 6000?
The least number of 6000 is 6000 itself, as it is the smallest number in this context. The greatest number can vary depending on the criteria used; however, if we consider only whole numbers, it remains 6000. If you're referring to factors of 6000, the least factor is 1, and the greatest factor is 6000.
