Answer:To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 16, 24, and 48 using continuous division, follow these steps:1. **Divide the numbers by their smallest common factor.**   Let's start with the smallest prime number, which is 2:   - **16 ÷ 2 = 8**   - **24 ÷ 2 = 12**   - **48 ÷ 2 = 24**   The result is: 8, 12, and 24.2. **Repeat the process with the new numbers:**   Divide by 2 again:   - **8 ÷ 2 = 4**   - **12 ÷ 2 = 6**   - **24 ÷ 2 = 12**   The result is: 4, 6, and 12.3. **Continue dividing by 2:**   - **4 ÷ 2 = 2**   - **6 ÷ 2 = 3**   - **12 ÷ 2 = 6**   The result is: 2, 3, and 6.4. **Now divide by the next smallest prime number (which is 3):**   - **6 ÷ 3 = 2**   The result is: 2, 1, and 2.5. **Finally, divide by 2:**   - **2 ÷ 2 = 1**   The result is: 1, 1, and 1.6. **The process stops here when the numbers are all 1.**The GCF is the product of the prime factors used in the division steps, which in this case is:2 x 2 x 2 = 8 So, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 16, 24, and 48 is **8**.Step-by-step explanation:
