The GCF of 32 and 48 is 16.

The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.

The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.

The largest factor they have in common is 16, so 16 is the greatest common factor.

Or, you can use prime factors to determine the greatest common factor.

The prime factors of 32 are 2, 2, 2, 2, and 2.

The prime factors of 48 are 2, 2, 2, 2, and 3.

The prime factors they have in common are 2, 2, 2, and 2, so the greatest common factor is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.
Factors of 32: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Factors of 48: 2, 2, 2, 2, 3

They have in common: 2, 2, 2, 2.

So the greatest common factor is 2x2x2x2 = 16.
