  Introduction to Common Factors
  Common factors are numbers that divide two or more numbers exactly. For example, the common factors of 12 and 18 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.

  Defining Greatest Common Factor
  The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides each of the numbers without leaving a remainder.
  
  #### Slide 5 -Slide

  Finding the GCF
  To find the GCF, list all the factors of each number and identify the highest number that appears in all the lists.
  
  #### Slide 6 -Slide

  GCF of Prime Numbers
  When finding the GCF of prime numbers, the GCF is always 1 since prime numbers have only two factors – 1 and the number itself.

  GCF Examples
  Example 1: Find the GCF of 24 and 36. List factors: 24 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24) and 36 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36). The GCF is 12.

  GCF in Real Life
  The concept of GCF is used in various real-life scenarios, such as simplifying fractions, reducing ingredients in recipes, and optimizing resources.

  GCF and LCM Connection
  The GCF and the least common multiple (LCM) are related. The product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the two numbers themselves.
