Solved by pluggable solver: Find Greatest Common Factor
First, factorise 60 and 156:


Factors of 60: 2,2,3,5
Factors of 156: 2,2,3,13.
Highlight common factors:
60: 2,2,3,5
156: 2,2,3,13
Common factors: 2,2,3
The product of these common factors is:2*2*3=12.
This number, 12, is your greatest common factor:

Greatest Common Factor( 60, 156 ) = 12.
