    C. 6 (11 + 4 + 13)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the GCF, start with the prime factorizations of the numbers.

    66 = 2 * 3 * 11

    24 = 2^3 * 3

    78 = 2 * 3 * 13

    To find the GCF, use only common factors with the smallest exponent.

    GCF = 2 * 3 = 6

    66/6 = 11

    24/6 = 4

    78/6 = 13

    66 + 24 + 78 = 6 (11 + 4 + 13)

    Answer: C. 6 (11 + 4 + 13)
