Greatest common divisor

In mathematics, the greatest common divisor of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers. For two integers x, y, the greatest common divisor of x and y is denoted {\displaystyle \gcd}

Answer 2

Answer:

this was in my 7 class book  that a common factor is a common number number with can divide both given  number

Step-by-step explanation:

In clear words-

"Factors" are numbers we can multiply together to get another number. When we find the factors of two or more numbers, and then find some factors are the same ("common"), then they are the "common factors".

for example

6 and 9

6 can be written as

=2*3

9 can be  written as

=3*3

3 is common in both cases

so here 3 is the common factor
