The greatest common factor (GCF) is often also called the greatest common divisor (GCD) or highest common factor (HCF). Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the largest integer which evenly divides two or more numbers.The greatest common factor of 144 and 252 is 36
92 = 4 X 23; 252 = 4 X 63; and 23 and 63 have no common divisor, other than 1. Therefore, 4 is the greatest common factor of 92 and 252; that is, gcd(92, 252) = 4. By the bye, should you happen to recognise that 23 is a prime number, and that 23 is not a divisor of 63: then, it will be immediately apparent that 23 and 63 have no common divisor, other than 1. In other words, 23 has no divisor other than 1 and itself and is thus what we call a 'prime number'.
