    4

    (Four)

    Finding GCF for 36 and 40 using all factors (divisors) listing

    The first method to find GCF for numbers 36 and 40 is to list all factors for both numbers and pick the highest common one:

    All factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

    All factors of 40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

    So the Greatest Common Factor for 36 and 40 is 4

    Finding GCF for 36 and 40 by Prime Factorization

    The second method to find GCF for numbers 36 and 40 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the common ones:

    All Prime Factors of 36: 2, 2, 3, 3

    All Prime Factors of 40: 2, 2, 2, 5

    As we can see there are Prime Factors common to both numbers: 2, 2

    Now we need to multiply them to find GCF: 2 × 2 = 4
