Answer:

8

Explanation:

the greatest factor of 8 is 8. This is because the highest you can divide 8 by...is 8.

16
/ 8 = 2

So 8 fits in 16.

24/8 = 3

So we know that 8 fits in 24 as well.

Since 8 is the greatest factor that the smallest number can have and it fits in both of the other numbers....

8 is the greatest common factor!
