Understanding Greatest Common Factor

The video tutorial explains how Emma can use the greatest common factor (GCF) to distribute 24 candies and 36 toys into identical party favor bags. It defines the GCF as the largest whole number that divides two or more numbers exactly. The video demonstrates finding the GCF by listing factors of 24 and 36, identifying 12 as the GCF. This allows Emma to create 12 identical bags, each containing 2 candies and 3 toys. The tutorial concludes by verifying the results and summarizing the process.
