    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 16, 24 and 40?

    Answer

    GCF of 16, 24 and 40 is
    8

    Common factors: 1, 2, 4, 8

    8 divides all three: 16 ÷ 8 = 2, 24 ÷ 8 = 3, 40 ÷ 8 = 5 — and 2, 3 and 5 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    16 = 24

    24 = 23 × 3

    40 = 23 × 5

    — = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number, so it cannot be in the GCF.

    GCF = 23 = 8

    FAQ

    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 16, 24 and 40?

    GCF of 16, 24 and 40 is 8

    What prime factors do 16, 24 and 40 share?

    All three factorizations contain 2 × 2 × 2, and multiplying those shared primes gives 8 — exactly the greatest common factor.

    Can you get the GCF of 16, 24 and 40 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 16 and 24 is 8, and the GCF of 8 and 40 is 8 — the same answer, because the greatest common factor is associative and does not depend on the order of the three numbers.

    How does the GCF simplify the ratio 16 : 24 : 40?

    Divide every term by the GCF 8: 16 ÷ 8 = 2, 24 ÷ 8 = 3 and 40 ÷ 8 = 5. So 16 : 24 : 40 in lowest terms is 2 : 3 : 5, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
