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

The GCF of 8 and 16 is 8.

Now we can factor out 8 from the expression:

\[ 8w + 16 = 8(w + 2) \]

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

8(w + 2)
