For this case, the first thing we must do is find the multiples of the coefficients.

We have then:

  • 42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
  • 56: 1, 2, 7, 8, 28, 56

We observe that the biggest common factor is given by 7.

Therefore, by rewriting the expression we have:


42x-56y = 7 (6x-8y)

Answer:

An equivalent expression is given by:


7 (6x-8y)
