Greatest Common Factor of 36 and 60.

  • 1. Find all the Factors of each number,
  • 2. Underline the Common factors,
  • 3. Choose the Greatest of those.

Factor of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.

Factor of 60 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.

12 is the greatest common factor.

Therefore 36, 60 of GCF is 12.
