The common factors of 18 and 36 are the numbers that can evenly divide both 18 and 36 without leaving a remainder. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. Therefore, the common factors of 18 and 36 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.

The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, and 36.
Their common factors are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
Their greatest common factor is 18 .
To answer this question you first need to isolate the prime factors in each number. In this case the numbers are 36 and 18 so the prime factors are:
18 = 2x3x3
36 = 2x2x3x3
The next step is to identify any unique factors. In this case, the only prime factor 36 has which 18 doesn't is a second 2. Thus any combination of the prime factors of 36 which includes both 2s will not be a factor of 18. These numbers are 4, 12 and 36.
The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
The factors of 36 are :1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
So the common factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
The Greatest Common Factor depends upon the numbers for which there are common factors and it is the greatest one of them; it can be greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 40 and 100 is 20. The greatest common factor must be one of the factors of each of the numbers. As the factors of each number cannot be greater than that number, the greatest common factor of a set of numbers cannot be greater than the least number. If this number is not greater than 18 then the greatest common factor of the numbers cannot be greater than 18. Even if the least number is greater than 18 it is possible that the greatest common factor of a set of numbers is still not greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 20, 30 and 50 is 10.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of factors.
The common factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 12 and 18.
-- The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20. -- The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. -- The (common) factors of both 20 and 36 are 1, 2, and 4 . -- The greatest one of the common factors (GCF) of 20 and 36 is 4 . The answer has got to be somewhere in here.
