The problem is to find the largest positive integer which goes evenly into the two given numbers.
21 and 84
By finding the factors in both numbers and then finding the one that is greatest in common. For example the G.C.F for 45 and 36 is 9.

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here? To find the greatest common factor of 324m and 7m, we look for the largest number that can divide both 324 and 7 evenly. In this case, the greatest common factor is just m, because it's the largest factor that both terms share. Just remember, there are no mistakes in math, only happy little accidents!
