You fist have to do the factor tree and then find the #s they have in common. If you have the same # but they both have different powers, you look for the lowest power. And if two #s are the same, you have to multiply it to find the GCF.
I am the mathematics teacher for the Specialized High School section at IP Kids Our goal this summer is to familiarize the students with the type of questions that will be given on the New York City Specialized High School Test. The test will be given on the first weekend in November 2009.

30 15
15 2 3 5
3 5 2
GCF = 5
