Common Factors Worksheets
How Do You Find Common Factors Between Two Integers? By finding the common factors between the two integers, you simplify many mathematical steps for further calculation. One of the major benefits of finding common factors is when you’re resolving fractions. Now, there are different ways to find the greatest common factors; thus, let’s discuss them accordingly. The first method is the simplest, in which we list down all the factors of each integer and then identify the common ones together. However, other methods are usually used for finding the greatest common factor which makes the first method the best one to use.

Basic Lesson
Demonstrates how to determine common factors in an equation. Factor: 5x - 30 The largest factor of 5 and 30 is 5. Since the terms do not contain a variable (x) in common, we cannot factor any variables.

Question: Why are 'x' & 'y' normally used when doing algebra?
Answer: In algebra, x and y are used to signify the axes on a coordinate plane. They are also used as variables in an equation, which means they can be replaced with any numeral that makes sense in relation to the equation.
