common factor
Mutual number divider
A common factor is a number that divides evenly into two or more other numbers.
The numbers 12 and 18 share the common factors 2, 3, and 6.
Finding common factors helps simplify fractions and solve problems requiring shared divisibility.
The greatest common factor is the largest such number—for 12 and 18, it's 6.
