Common Factors and Venn Diagrams

In this video, Amal Kumar explains how to find common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numbers 24 and 40 using a Venn diagram. The video begins by listing all the factors of each number. Then, it demonstrates how to place these factors in a Venn diagram to visually identify the common factors. The common factors are identified as 1, 2, 4, and 8, with 8 being the greatest common factor. The video concludes by summarizing the steps involved in using a Venn diagram to find common factors and the GCF.
