The greatest common factor (GCF) of 32, 48, and 80 is 16.
To understand how we arrive at this answer, we can start by finding the factors of each number:
- The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
- The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.
- The factors of 80 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80.
Now, we look for the common factors among these three numbers. The common factors are: 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. Out of these, the greatest one is 16.
Therefore, the greatest common factor of 32, 48, and 80 is 16.
