To factor the expression \(8w + 16\) using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first identify the GCF of the terms.

1. **Identify the GCF:**
- For \(8w\) and \(16\), the GCF is \(8\).

2. **Factor out the GCF:**
- \(8w + 16 = 8(w + 2)\).

So, the correct factored form of \(8w + 16\) is:

\[
8(w + 2)
\]

Looking at the options provided:

- \(4(2w + 4)\)
- \(2(4w + 10)\)
- \(6(2w + 10)\)
- \(8(w + 2)\)

The correct option is:

\[
8(w + 2)
\]
