Just see what number goes into both numbers! That's it! After you pick that number, just divide it off. So, here there are two numbers in which you can do that. 1 and 3. let us do 1 first 1(18-3n), no change!; it isn't simplified, well, 3 works too, so factor everything by 3,
3(6-n). Gotta 'divide off' or factor the greatest common multiple, or the number that works for both that is biggest!

The common factor of this is 3, because 3 is the highest number that goes into both terms. 3*6=18, and 3*-1n=-3n, so our factorization becomes:
3(6-n)

You need to find the number that is a factor of both, and that number is three.
So:
18-3n The common factor is 3.
