What is the gcf of 16 and 24?

The greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers, in this case 16 and 24, is the largest number that can evenly divide both numbers without leaving a remainder.

To find the GCF of 16 and 24, you can list the factors of each number and find the largest number that appears in both lists. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

The largest number that appears in both lists of factors is 8. Therefore, the GCF of 16 and 24 is 8.
