The greatest common factor between two numbers is the biggest number that multiplies into both of them.

Let's factor out 15.

15:1 × 15, 3 × 5.
Let's factor out 64.

64:1 × 64, 2 × 32, 4 x 16, 8 × 8.

Both numbers have 1, so the GCF of 15 and 64 is 1.

Thope this helps you, PM me if you need help understanding. :)
