Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Euclid's algorithm, we divide the larger by the smaller. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCF. Otherwise, we replace the larger with the remainder and repeat.
18 ÷ 12 = 1 r 6
12 ÷ 6 = 2 r 0 . . . . the GCF is 6

You can also factor the numbers and see what the common factors are.
18 = 2·3·3
12 = 2·2·3
The common factors are 2·3 = 6.
In the factorizations, we see 2 to powers of 1 and 2, and we see 3 to powers of 1 and 2. The GCF is the product of the common factors to their lowest powers: (2^1)(3^1) = (2)(3) = 6
Well let's see what floor each one lands on and figure out which one is higher.
Something to note:
down = subtracting
up = adding
if something says it's doing something more than once, add it the number of times it's doing that thing. (You can also multiply it by that number but the adding way is a bit easier to understand and explain)
<u>Elevator 1:</u>
6 + 7 + 7 - 10 = 10
<u>Elevator 2:</u>
20 - 5 - 5 - 5 + 12 = 17
Elevator 2 ends on a higher floor (reasoning above)
