hello
to solve this question, let's write out all factors of 16 and 34 i.e numbers that can divide 16 and 34 equally then we'll pick the highest common factor between them
factors of 16
[tex]1,2,4\text{and}16[/tex]factors of 34
[tex]1,2,17\text{and}34[/tex]between the two numbers given the highest common factor is 2
