That is a very good question. The awnser is quite simple, its a number.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
Divide the number 32 by successive prime numbers to get the factors until you cant divide any more numbers... 32/1=32 (factors are 1 and 32) 32/2=16 (factors are 2 and 16) 32/3=does not divide to be a whole number 32/4=8 (factors are 4 and 8) 32/5=does not divide to be a whole number 32/6=does not divide to be a whole number 32/7=does not divide to be a whole number Now you done with all the numbers you can. Therefore 1,32,2,16,4 and 8 are factors.
The positive factors of 32 are: 1 2 4 8 16 32.
16 doesn't have a GCF. You need at least two numbers to find one of those. If you're asking what three numbers equal 16, there are an infinite number of possibilities. If you're asking what three numbers have a GCF of 16, 16, 32 and 48 is one answer.
