Best Answer

First factor each of the 3 numbers into primes:

8= 2 x 2 x 2

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

Next, determine what set of factors is common to all:

2 x 2 fits the bill.

The highest common factor of a set of numbers is the multiple of the prime factors common to all, so 2 x 2 = 4 is the HCF of 8, 12, 24.
