Answer 2

Hey there!

To find the greatest common factor you will need to find all the factors of 36 and 54. (A factor is a number that can be divided into another number).

54 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27.

36 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18.

As you can see here, the factor that is the greatest is 18. Therefore, that is your answer.

Hope this helps! :)
