Since 6 is a factor of 12 and is the largest factor of itself, the greatest common factor is 6.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.

The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

The common factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6. Therefore the greatest common factor is 6.

The greatest common factor can also be calculated by identifying the common prime factors and multiplying them together.

The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3.

The prime factors of 12 are 2, 2, and 3.

The common prime factors are 2 and 3, so the greatest common factor is 2 x 3 = 6.
