24 is not the greatest common factor of any single number.
Common factors are the factors that two or more numbers have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common. There cannot be any common factors or a greatest common factor of a single number. There must be at least two number for common factors and a greatest common factor.
Example:
The greatest common factor of 24 and 48 is 24.
The greatest common factor of 60 and 144 is 24.
The greatest common factor of 240 and 264 is 24.
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself. The greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12.
The greatest factor of 24 is 24. The greatest factor of a number is the number itself.
Since 173 is a prime number, 1 is the only (and greatest) common factor of 24 and 173.
The greatest common factor of 24 and 144 is 24.
The greatest common factor of 24 and 144 is 24.
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself. The greatest common factor of those numbers is 12.
The greatest common factor of 24 and 88 is 8
The greatest number by which both 24 and 9 are divisible is 3. Therefore, greatest common factor is 3.Alternate method:P.F. of 9 = 3x3P.F. of 24 = 2x2x2x33 is the only prime number which is the factor of both 24 and 9.Therefore, GCF = 3.
Te greatest number that divides 60, 24, and 30 evenly is 6, so that 6 is their greatest common factor.
A factor of a number is any number which the original number can divide evenly by (that is, without leaving a remainder or fraction). A common factor is a number which is a factor of the two numbers being considered. 36 cannot divide evenly by 24, and thus 24 is not a factor of 36. Thus, 24 cannot be the greatest common factor of 24 and 36.
The greatest common factor of 24 , 11 = 1
The greatest common factor of 24 , 90 = 6
