Determine the prime factors of both numbers.
400 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 24 x 52
120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 23 x 3 x 5
The common factors are 23 and 5 : The highest common factor is 23 x 5 = 40.
Common factors are formed from the individual common factors together with any combination of those factors.
This gives :- 2, 22 = 4, 23 = 8, 5, 2 x 5 = 10, 22 x 5 = 20 and 23 x 5 = 40
