A simple way to find the common factors of any set of numbers is to find all the factors of each one. For example:

Let A be all the factors of 24.

Let B be all the factors of 32.

Let C be all the factors of 40.

A = {1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24}

B = {1,2,4,8,16,32}

C = {1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40}

So now we find the intersection (that is all the numbers that are common in all of the sets) of all three sets of factors.

A∩B∩C = {1,2,4,8}

Therefore, the common factors of 24, 32 and 40 are 1, 2, 4 and 8.
