To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 32, 24, and 40, we first list the factors of each number:
32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
Next, we identify the common factors that all three numbers share: 1, 2, 4, and 8.
The largest of these common factors is 8, so the GCF of 32, 24, and 40 is 8.
