To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 36, 72, and 144, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number.

36 = 2^2 * 3^2 72 = 2^3 * 3^2 144 = 2^4 * 3^2

Next, we identify the common prime factors and take the smallest exponent for each common prime factor. The GCF of 36, 72, and 144 is 2^2 * 3^2, which simplifies to 36.
