28 has factors   1  2   4   7        14              28

72                      1 2 3 4 6 8 9 12 16 18 24         36  72

 

GCF is 4

 

28 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 7

72 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3     common factors   1  2 x 2 = 4

28 = \(2^2 \times 7\)

 

72 = \(2^3 \times 3^2 = 2^2 \times 2 \times 3^2\)

 

Therefore GCF = \(2^2\) = 4

 

Same as EP's answer
