3 <p>The GCF is the largest number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving any remainder. GCF is used to share the items equally, to group or arrange items, and schedule events. In this topic, we will learn about the GCF of 20 and 24.</p>

4 <h2>What is the GCF of 20 and 24?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>greatest common factor</a>of 20 and 24 is 4. The largest<a>divisor</a>of two or more<a>numbers</a>is called the GCF of the number.</p>

6 <p>If two numbers are co-prime, they have no common factors other than 1, so their GCF is 1. The GCF of two numbers cannot be negative because divisors are always positive.</p>

7 <h2>How to find the GCF of 20 and 24?</h2>

8 <p>To find the GCF of 20 and 24, a few methods are described below -</p>

9 <ol><li>Listing Factors</li>
