Answer: hope it helps you to understand
A factor is a number that divides into another number exactly. To find the common factors of two numbers, you first need to list all the factors of each one and then compare them. If a factor appears in both lists then it is a common factor.
For example, the factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4 and 8
The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
Therefore, the common factors of 8 and 12 are: 1, 2, and 4
