To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 54 and 36, we can use the prime factorization method.

First, let's find the prime factorization of both numbers:

54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 3^3
36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2^2 × 3^2

Next, we identify the common factors between the two numbers by taking the minimum exponent for each prime factor:

Common factors:
2^1 × 3^2 = 2 × 9 = 18

Therefore, the greatest common factor of 54 and 36 is 18.
