How is the greatest common factor ( GCF ) calculated?
Include the highest number of occurrences of each prime factor that is common to each original number. Multiply these together to get the GCF. You will see that as numbers get larger the prime factorization method may be easier than straight factoring. The prime factorization of 18 is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18.
