What is the greatest common factor of 28, 48, and 64?

First, prime factor all of the numbers. Then, collect the factors which appear in all three lists:

28 = 2 x 2 x 7
48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
64 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

The only factor which appears in all lists is 2. It appears twice in the first number, so the greatest common factor in the group is 2 x 2  = 4
