16

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean gcf? If so, then the gcf of 48, 80, and 112 is 16.

We can find the prime factorization of each number:

48: 2*2*2*2*3

80: 2*2*2*2*5

112: 2*2*2*2*7

We see that all of the prime factorizations have 2*2*2*2. 2*2*2*2 is 16 so the gcf of 48, 80, and 112 is 16.
