Answer 15

greatest common factor is the number that's COMMON BETWEEN THE NUMBERS for example this one.. 12 wasn't common in 38 so it doesn't count. even though it's common on 24.

Answer 16

It's not the number that's common that's GCF, it's the product of the common factors to get GCF

Answer 17

well @cydnimarie explained...

Answer 18

Example
144 = 2^4 • 3^2
216 = 2^3 • 3^3
GCF = 2^3 • 3^2 = 72
