Prime factorization:
36=$$2^2*3^2$$
$$54=2*3^3$$

GCD is common powers $$2*3^2=18$$

What is the greatest integer that will divide evenly into both 36 and 54?

A. 6

B. 9

C. 12

D. 18

E. 27

The largest number that divides both 36 and 54 is 18 since 36/18 = 2 and 54/18 = 3 and the quotients 2 and 3 do not have a common factor other than 1.
