Question

When complete, evaluate the expressions to chec24 + 360/1

Answer 1

To factor an expression using GCF we need to first factorate the numbers. We have:

$\begin{gathered} 24=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot3 \\ 36=2\cdot2\cdot3\cdot3 \end{gathered}$

We now need to take the factors that repeat. We have "2" repeating twice and "3" repeating once. So we have:

$GCF=2\cdot2\cdot3=12$

GCF= 2*2*3=12

We now divide both numbers by the GCF, we have:

$\frac{24}{12}=2$$\frac{36}{12}=3$

We can represent the expression as the product of the GCF with the divisions above.

$12\cdot(2+3)$
