Find the GCF Using the Ladder Method #3

Take factorization step-by-step by using the ladder method! In this worksheet, students will divide pairs of numbers by common factors until no further factors remain. Then, to find the greatest common factor, learners will multiply the shared factors.

The ladder method allows students to complete the factorization process in a clear and organized way, helping them to understand what the greatest common factor actually is. Identifying the GCF helps to build number sense and reinforce learners’ multiplication skills.
