The smallest number that has exactly eight factors is 24. The factors of 1,2,3,4,6,8,12, and 24
what is the smallest factor of 15
The smallest whole number divisible by both 8 and 12 is 24.
24 is the smallest. There are many others.
8 is a factor of 24 but not 15
There is no such thing as the smallest common factor. I guess the smallest common factor (integers only) for 16 and 24 would be -8. But that's just the negative version of the greatest common factor. I think you meant to ask either what is the smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 or what is the greatest common factor of 16 and 24. The greatest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8. The smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 is 48.
It's both ! Any number is always a multiple and a factor of itself.
24. eg 24, 48, 72 or 24, 264, 2904
By difference do you mean in terms of meaning, that is: GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 24 and 120 which is the largest number that divides both, namely 24 LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of 24 and 120 which is the smallest number into which they both divide, namely 120 or numerically, as in |LCM - GCF| = |120 - 24| = 96
Either or both. 12 is a factor of 24. 12 is a multiple of 6. 12 is both a factor and a multiple of itself.
The greatest common factor is the highest number that is a factor of both numbers (divides into them evenly). 24/24 = 1, and 48/24 = 2, so it's 24. 24 goes evenly into both numbers, and is definitely the greatest because it is the highest factor of 24.
