$14$ $15$

Step 1

Find the common factors for the numerical part:

$14, 15$

Step 2

The factors for $14$ are $1, 2, 7, 14$ .

The factors for $14$ are all numbers between $1$ and $14$ , which divide $14$ evenly.

Check numbers between $1$ and $14$

Find the factor pairs of $14$ where $x \cdot y = 14$ .

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 1 & 14 \\ 2 & 7 \end{array}$

List the factors for $14$ .

$1, 2, 7, 14$

Step 3

The factors for $15$ are $1, 3, 5, 15$ .

The factors for $15$ are all numbers between $1$ and $15$ , which divide $15$ evenly.

Check numbers between $1$ and $15$

Find the factor pairs of $15$ where $x \cdot y = 15$ .

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 1 & 15 \\ 3 & 5 \end{array}$

List the factors for $15$ .

$1, 3, 5, 15$

Step 4

List all the factors for $14, 15$ to find the common factors.

$14$ : $1, 2, 7, 14$

$15$ : $1, 3, 5, 15$

Step 5

The common factors for $14, 15$ are $1$ .
