Answer:

12

Explanation:

The GCF of 12 and 24 is 12. To calculate the most significant common factor of 12 and 24, we need to factor each number (factors of 12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12; characteristics of 24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24) and choose the most significant factor that exactly divides both 12 and 24, i.e., 12.
