When one method isn't enough to teach GCF, try two! This interactive webpage introduces factors and the prime factor tree to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. After the lesson, have learners click to try the two examples with the method of their choice. They can navigate to the Test Yourself section and practice more challenging questions afterwards.
