The same as with two. You can compare their factors...
The factors of 30 are:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The factors of 42 are:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
The factors of 60 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
The common factors are:
1, 2, 3, 6
The Greatest Common Factor:
GCF = 6
or their prime factorizations.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF

To reduce fractions
Get the greatest common factor first. For example, you might use Euclid's Algorithm - the first step is that the greatest common factor of 5030 and 100 is the same as the greatest common factor of 100 and 30 (where 30 is the remainder of the division of 5030 / 100). Once you get the greatest common factor, the common factors of the two numbers are simply all the factors of this greatest common factor.
When you need to reduce fractions.
The greatest common factor is used to reduce fractions.
The greatest common factor is a function of two numbers-- it is the greatest factor that the numbers have in common. The concept does not apply to a single number. Now you can use the same number twice and ask what is the greatest common factor of 240 and 240 and the answer would be 240.
The greatest common factor of 6 and 9 is 3.
Just use the GCF(greatest common factor

Yes, they do.

What I would guess for you to do is take a greatest common factor, and use it. 4
the least common multiple is what the numbers you are using divide into. e.g. 3 and 6 have 12 as the common factor. the greatest common factor is what divides into your numbers. 6 and 9 have 3 as the greatest common factor
It won't help. The lowest common factor of any two positive integers is 1.
