To find the highest common factor (HCF) of 16 and 24, we first list the factors of each number. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The highest common factor is the largest number that both lists share, which is 8. Therefore, the HCF of 16 and 24 is 8.
