Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

The common ones are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The greatest one among these is 6.

Factors are numbers you multiply with another natural number to get another number. For example, the factors of 16 will be all the numbers that can be multiplied with an integer to get 16. 1* 16 is 16, so 1 will work. 2 *8 is 16, so 2 will work. But, 3 * 16/3 is 16 so 3 won't work. You get the point. Hope this helps and pls give brainliset.
