The biggest number by which two numbers can both be divided to produce a whole number is known as the greatest common factor. 9 3 = 3 and 12 3 = 4 .
By making factor trees you can identify the largest common factors of two numbers. 9 = 3 3 and 12 = 2 2 3 , in this case the only common factor is 3 and therefore the greatest.
