Recall what a factor is. A factor is simply a term that can be multiplied with one or more terms. In this case, the "factor" is also known as the GCF (greatest common factor). In this case, you would have to look for the highest values from each term and see which are the greatest multiples of each value that can be "factored out". Recall what factors make up the whole integers 30, 12, and 18. 30 has factors of 1 and 30, 3 and 10, and 5 and 6. Then you find the other factors. Whichever factor happens to be common between all terms and is the greatest factor is the GCF to multiply out of each equation. Now do the same thing for y and z, and factor those out as well.
