In order to solve this question, we must find the factors of each of the number:
360 = 36 \cdot 10 = 6 \cdot 6 \cdot 5\cdot 2 = 3^2\cdot 2 ^2 \cdot 5\cdot 2 = 2^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5.
500 = 5 \cdot 10^2 = 5 \cdot (5\cdot 2)^2 = 5 \cdot 5^2\cdot 2^2 = 2^2 \cdot 5^3.
700 = 7 \cdot 10^2 = 7\cdot 5^2\cdot 2^2 = 2^2 \cdot 5^2\cdot 7.
From this we can see that all of the numbers have 2^2 \cdot 5 in their prime factors, so the highest common factor is (D) 2^2 \cdot 5
