You could discover the prime factors of 24 and 28 .

24 = 2 2 3
28 = 2 2 7

We see that 24 and 28 have 2 2 in common and nothing else, so the greatest common factor is

2 2 = 4

There are other ways to find the GCF as well such as listing out all the factors of each number and picking out the greatest, which is a little more tedious and unnecessary.
