270 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5

216 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3

GCF = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 =

I assume you mean gcf (greatest common factor)? If so, if you factor both numbers into prime factors you get: 270=3*3*3*2*5, 216=3*3*3*2*2*2. The ones they have in common are 3*3*3*2=54, and thus this is the gcf.

270: 2, 3, 3, 3, 5

216: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3

common: 3, 3, 3, 2
