(A) Fully factorise both numbers:

So 18 = 2*3*3 and 45 = 3*3*5

(B) For the gcf write down only those numbers (factors) that appear in both factorisations. If they appear twice in both factorisations, write them twice for the gcf.

So here we have gcf = 3*3

[there is no 2 in the factorisation of 45 so no 2 in the gcf. Likewise, no 5 because it is not there for 18.]

(C) Multiply the numbers in the gcf together so gcf = 9.
