Answer 1

The greatest common factor (GCF) is often also called the greatest common divisor (GCD) or highest common factor (HCF). Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the largest integer which evenly divides two or more numbers.

The greatest common factor of 32 and 232 is 8

Answer 2

Factors for 32: 2, 4, 8, 16

Factors for 256: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

Since 256 is a multiple of 32, 32 can be considered the GCF.

If 32 has to be excluded, then 16 is the GFC of 32 and 256

Answer 3

Factor them.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32

2 x 2 x 2 x 29 = 232

Select the common factors.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8, the GCF

Answer 4

32 = 2*2*2*2*2

232 = 2*2*2*29

So the GCF is 2*2*2 = 8.
