Factors of 104 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52 and 104.

factors of 117 are 1, 3, 9, 13, 39 and 117.

Common factors are 1 and 13. But, 13 is the greater than 1 so it is the greatest common factor.

Alternate Method:

Greatest common factor(GCF) of two or more numbers can be calculated by using the method of prime factorization.

Prime factorization of 104 = 2x2x2x13

Prime factorization of 117 = 3x3x13

It is clear from the factorization that 13 is the GCF.

The GCF of 104 and 117 is 13 because 13 is the largest number that divides evenly into both of them with no remainder.
