The gcf of 5 and 6 is 1.

Steps to find GCF

1. Find the prime factorization of 5
   5 = 5
2. Find the prime factorization of 6
   6 = 2 × 3
3. To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:
   
   Therefore, GCF = 1

The greatest common factor (gcf) is also known as greatest common divisor (gcd) or highest common factor (hcf).
