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.
Since 12 is a factor of 24, it is automatically the GCF.
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 8 and 24 is 8. To find the HCF, you need to determine the largest number that divides both 8 and 24 without leaving a remainder. In this case, 8 is the largest number that divides both 8 and 24 evenly, making it the HCF.
The GCF is 8.
The hcf is 12
The GCF is 2.
The two numbers that have a least common multiple (LCM) of 24 and a highest common factor (HCF) of 2 are 8 and 12. The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers, while the HCF is the largest number that divides both numbers without leaving a remainder. In this case, 8 and 12 have an LCM of 24 because 24 is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 8 and 12, and they have an HCF of 2 because 2 is the largest number that divides both 8 and 12 without leaving a remainder.
12
If you mean 24 and 36 then the HCF is 12
It is 12
It is 8
It is: 12
