To factor the expression \(9Z + 18\) using the greatest common factor (GCF), follow these steps:
1. **Identify the GCF**: The coefficients of the terms are 9 and 18. The GCF of 9 and 18 is 9.
2. **Factor out the GCF**: Now, factor 9 out of each term in the expression:
\[
9Z + 18 = 9(Z) + 9(2)
\]
This can be rewritten as:
\[
9(Z + 2)
\]
So, the factored form of \(9Z + 18\) is:
\[
\boxed{9(Z + 2)}
\]
