30 is the correct answer to this question. The greatest common factor is commonly referred to as GCF or as a divisor. It is the largest integer that is common between the numbers and is positive. It is the last one that is without a remainder. To identify the greatest common factor, the first step is to list all of the possible numbers between both numbers.

Starting with the number 60, the possible numbers are 1, 1,2,3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60. With the number 90, the possible numbers are 1,2,3, 5,6,9,10,15,18,30,45 and 90. Listing those numbers out, you see that the greatest number they have in common is the number 30, which is the answer.
