what are the common factors of 12 and 20? factors really mean multiples

So you are saying that I need to find the common factors of 12 and 20 first?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

of course because m and n are not a common factor, they are not the same! http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/factors-all-tool.html
