The greatest common factor (GCF) of 82 and 24 is 2.
To find the GCF, we can start by listing the factors of each number:
- Factors of 82: 1, 2, 41, 82
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The common factors of both numbers are 1 and 2. Among these, the greatest is 2. Therefore, the GCF of 82 and 24 is 2.
