The least possible value of the other number is 22

First, you check that 22 divides 198. It does. 22 x 9 = 198.
Were that not the case, there statement of the problem would be wrong.
Next -- well, the other number has 22 as a factor. So it's at least 22.
On the other hand, 22 gets the job done. Why? Well, 22 is a factor of both 22 and 198. On the other hand, they can't have a bigger GCF because that bigger number would have to divide both 198 and 22 (else it wouldn't be a CF), and nothing bigger than 22 divides 22.
So 22 is exactly the GCF of 22 and 198.

22 198
^ ^
11 x 2 11 x 18
^
2 x 9
^
3 x 3
so the common facters are 2 and 11 so you times them and you would get 22. so forget everybodys else im good in math and the answer is 22.

The prime factorization of 22 is 2 * 11
The prime factorization of 198 is 2 * 3 * 3 * 11
So the number you're looking for is 2 * 2 * 11 = 44
