3 <p>The GCF is the largest number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving any remainder. GCF is used to share items equally, to group or arrange items, and to schedule events. In this topic, we will learn about the GCF of 30 and 6.</p>

4 <h2>What is the GCF of 30 and 6?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 30 and 6 is 6.</p>

6 <p>The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the numbers.</p>

7 <p>If two numbers are co-prime, they have no common factors other than 1, so their GCF is 1.</p>

8 <p>The GCF of two numbers cannot be negative because divisors are always positive.</p>

9 <h2>How to find the GCF of 30 and 6?</h2>

10 <p>To find the GCF of 30 and 6, a few methods are described below -</p>
