First you would need to break the numbers into their prime factors. In this case we have:

8 = 2x2x2

12 = 2x2x3

The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case, both numbers have two 2s as prime factors. Multiply these together and you get:

2x2=4

Thus the hcf of 8 and 12 is 4.
