36v+24

Basically, you break the numbers down into their prime factors:

36 = 3 x 3 x 2 x 2
24 = 3 x 2 x 2 x 2

Take the factors that are the same (in common), 3 x 2 x 2 = 12

The greatest common factor is, therefore, 12.

Hmmm... if I take GCF as being "grouping common factors", I get $12(3v+2)$ .
