    What is the Greatest Common Divisor of 36 and 132?

    Answer

    GCF (HCF) of 36 and 132 is
    12

    Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

    12 divides both: 36 ÷ 12 = 3, 132 ÷ 12 = 11 — and 3 and 11 share no factor but 1, so no larger number divides both.

    36 = 22 × 32

    132 = 22 × 3 × 11
