Final answer:

The GCF of two numbers is 8. One of the numbers is 24. The other number that is between 35 and 43 is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both numbers evenly. In this case, the GCF is 8.

We know that one of the numbers is 24. Let's find the other number by dividing 24 by the GCF:

24 ÷ 8 = 3

So the other number is 3. However, we need to find the other number that is between 35 and 43. Since 3 is not between 35 and 43, we can eliminate option a) 36.

Therefore, the correct answer is b) 40.
