    Greatest Common Factor of

    and

    What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 15 and 5?

    Answer

    GCF of 15 and 5 is
    5

    (Five)

    Finding GCF for 15 and 5 using all factors (divisors) listing

    The first method to find GCF for numbers 15 and 5 is to list all factors for both numbers and pick the highest common one:

    All factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15

    All factors of 5: 1, 5
