5 <p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 12 and 35 is 1. The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the numbers. If two numbers are co-prime, they have no common factors other than 1, so their GCF is 1. The GCF of two numbers cannot be negative because divisors are always positive.</p>
