Answer:

66

Explanation:

What is a factor?

A factor is many pairs of numbers multiplied by another number that equals that number

For example: If I were to say what are factors of 64 I would say 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64

The pairs would be

1 and 64

2 and 32

4 and 16

8 and 8

Realize that when they're multiplied, they equal to 64

so then going back to the question: What is the greatest common factor of 264, 132 and 66

So they're wanting you to look for a factor but not the least common factor but the greatest common factor

The greatest common factor would be 66 since it is the highest common factor that all 3 numbers have
