Question

Which of the following numbers are factors of 16 and 20?

Answer 1

The set of factors of 20 is {1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20} and the set of factors of 16 is {1, 2, 4, 8, 16}. {1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20} ∩ {1, 2, 4, 8, 16} = {1, 2, 4} which has greatest value 4. So, GCF(20, 16) = 4.

Answer 2

The factors of 20 is 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

The factors of 16 is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
