The given expressions are


\begin{gathered} 24w^3u^7v^8 \\ 20w^6u \end{gathered}

The greatest common factor between the coefficients is 4 because that the greatest factor they have in common as you can observe below


\begin{gathered} 24=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot3 \\ 20=2\cdot2\cdot5 \end{gathered}

The greatest common factor between variables is


w^3u

Hence, the greatest common factor of both expressions is


4w^3u
