To factor the expression \(24n - 32\) using the greatest common factor (GCF), follow these steps:
1. **Find the GCF of the coefficients**: The coefficients are 24 and 32. The GCF of 24 and 32 is 8.
2. **Factor out the GCF**: Divide each term by the GCF (8):
- \(24n \div 8 = 3n\)
- \(32 \div 8 = 4\)
3. **Write the factored expression**:
\[
24n - 32 = 8(3n - 4)
\]
So, the factored form of \(24n - 32\) is \(8(3n - 4)\).
