Greatest Common Factor

Reorder the following:

What are the steps for finding the GCF of two numbers while using the ladder method.

• Continue finding factors until the only common factor remaining is 1

• Set up your ladder

• Multiply all numbers to the left of the ladder to find the GCF

• Find a common factor between both numbers
