The ______ of two or more numbers is the greatest number that exactly divides each of the numbers.


Answer:

HCF

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. We know that HCF is the greatest number that completely divides each of the given numbers.
  2. Let us find the HCF of 4, 8, 16, and 32.
    Factors of 4 = 2 × 2
    Factors of 8 = 2 × 2 × 2
    Factors of 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
    Factors of 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
  3. Therefore, 2 × 2 = 4 is the greatest number that completely divides the numbers 4, 8, 16, and 32.
