Find the greatest common factor 8x power of 2, -24x power of 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pretty sure it would be 8.

OpenStudy (bbb911):

sorry for the wait . can you expalin it to me cos i have no idea why it would be 8 . im just really confused with the chapter im doing right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well first you find what factors 8 and 24 have in common... so for 8 its factors are 1,2,4,8 and for 24 its factors are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24.... so you find the highest factor of eight that is also a factor of 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so since 8 is the highest factor of 8 and is also a factor of 24, the greatest common factor would be 8
