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

The factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, and 54.

Therefore, the greatest common factor is 6.

With larger numbers, it is easiest to determine the greatest common factor by determining the prime factors of each number, and then multiplying the factors they have in common.

The prime factors of 24 are 2, 2, 2, and 3.

The prime factors of 54 are 2, 3, 3, and 3.

The factors they have in common are one 2 and one 3, so 2 x 3 = 6 is the greatest common factor.
