Factors are a set of numbers that can be divided in to a certain number.
Example: the factors of 36 are,1,36,2,18,3,12,4,9,6,
The way to find factors are seeing if a number divides into it and if it gives you a whole number that is you first answer for that factor.The number you get is your next factor.
To find the greatest common factor you must list all factors of each number and find the greatest number they have in common.
