We need to find the greatest common factor between 24 and 112
So let us factories the given numbers
Onthe prime factorization of 24, we get
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
On theprime factorization of 112
112 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7
To find the greatest common factor between these two numbers we will multiply all the common prime factorsof both the numbers
Hence,greatest common factor = 2 × 2 × 2
greatest common factor of 24 and 112= 8
