    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 6, 16 and 24?

    Answer

    GCF of 6, 16 and 24 is
    2

    Common factors: 1, 2

    2 divides all three: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, 16 ÷ 2 = 8, 24 ÷ 2 = 12 — and 3, 8 and 12 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

    6 = 2 × 3

    16 = 24

    24 = 23 × 3

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

    GCF = 2

    FAQ

    What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 6, 16 and 24?

    GCF of 6, 16 and 24 is 2

    What prime factors do 6, 16 and 24 share?

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

    Can you get the GCF of 6, 16 and 24 two numbers at a time?

    Yes. The GCF of 6 and 16 is 2, and the GCF of 2 and 24 is 2 — 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 6 : 16 : 24?

    Divide every term by the GCF 2: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, 16 ÷ 2 = 8 and 24 ÷ 2 = 12. So 6 : 16 : 24 in lowest terms is 3 : 8 : 12, and no whole number other than 1 divides all three of those.
