The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64.
The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72.
The common factors are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Therefore, the greatest common factor is 8. 
The greatest common factor can also be calculated by identifying the common prime factors and multiplying them together.
The prime factors of 64 are 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, and 2.
The prime factors of 72 are 2, 2, 2, 3, and 3.
The prime factors in common are 2, 2, and 2, so the greatest common factor is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
