A divisor is the number being divided by in a division problem. For example, 6/3=2. 3 is the divisor in that example. A factor is the part of a multiplication problem that is being multiplied. A multiplication problem can have two or more factors. For example, 3 times 2 equals 6. 3 and 2 are the factors in that example.

What is the difference between greatest common factor and common factor?
The GCF is the largest of the common factors.
What is the difference between a factor and variable?
A factor of an experiment is a controlled independent variable; a variable whose the differences between means for different levels of one factor.
What is the difference between factors and coefficient?
The difference between factors and coefficient is very distinct. A factor is a quantity which is multiplied with another to give a particular number as the result. A coefficient on the other hand is a multiplier that measures property.
What is the greatest common divisor between 432 and 360?
The same as the greatest common divisor between 360 and 72 (72 is the remainder of the division of 432 and 360).Apply this reasoning repeatedly (that's the Euclidian algorithm), until one of the two numbers is zero.
