Answer:
3(x + 8y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the GCF:
Factors of 3: 3, 1
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Since 3 is the greatest common factor, it is the GCF.
Factor using this number:
3x + 24y
(divide by 3 to see what numbers + variables will be in the parentheses)
3x + 24y
/3 /3
x + 8y
Factor:
3(x + 8y)
