One way to determine the common factors and greatest common factor is to find all the factors of the numbers and compare them.

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

The factors of 81 are 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81.

The common factors are 1 and 3. Therefore, the greatest common factor is 3.
