 * __ Steps For Using Factor Fruit To Find The GCF __** Step1- Get your problem that would be find the GCF of 6 and 9.   Step2- Find the **Prime Factorization** of 6 and 9.

Step 3- List the **prime factorization** of 6 and 9. Step 4- Connect all the same (common) **factors** with a line. Step 5- What ever is the same is the **GCF.** Which would be 3 because it was the only **common factor**.

Here is another problem Following the same steps.

Step 5(For this Problem)-If you had 2 or more **common factors** like 4=2*2 and 12=2*2*3, then you would have to times all the **common factors** so the **GCF** would be 2*2 or 4.
