To find the greatest common factor of two numbers, you would start by breaking them down into their prime factors. However in this case, both numbers are already prime and so cannot be broken down further. Therefore the only common factor will be 1. The greatest common factor of any two non-identical prime numbers will always be 1.

Since 17 is a factor of 34, it is automatically the GCF.
