Steps to find the GCF of pair of numbers
Let us take, the numbers 3 and 15 as example
Step :1
Write the prime factors of the both numbers
3 = 3
15 = 3 × 5
Step 2:
Find the common factor among all the factors
we have, 3 as common factor
The common factors is GCF (GREATEST COMMON FACTOR)
Answer:
As an easy example, let’s say you need to find the GCF for 16 and 20.
As an easy example, let’s say you need to find the GCF for 16 and 20.All you do is subtract 16 from 20, to get the difference, 4, and this number — 4 — is the largest number that could POSSIBLY go into both 16 and 20 evenly.

Of course that would be 4, so you got the GCF right off the bat, in this case.

Of course that would be 4, so you got the GCF right off the bat, in this case.Keep in mind that that greatest possible greatest common factor is not necessarily the true, greatest common factor. But it does set an upper limit for GCFs, and having that upper limit really reduces kids’ stress.

But of course 10 does not go into 25 and 35, so 10 is not the GCF. Check the numbers less than 10, and you’ll see that 5 is the GCF. But no more checking above 10, as kids are likely to do, unless you tell them when to stop.

that students really appreciate learning it’s there — to alert them when it’s “quitting time.”
