Answer:

12

Explanation:

We are looking for the highest common factor

Breaking each term into primes

144 = 12*12 = 4*3 * 4*3 = 2*2*3*3

180 = 20 *9 = 4*5*3*3 = 2*2*3*3*5

240 = 24*10 = 4*6*2*5 = 2*2*2*3*2*5 = 2*2*2*2*3*5

300 = 30*10 = 5*6*2*5 = 5*2*3*2*5 = 2*2*3*5*5

Look for the common factor

2*2*3 = 12
