Question

Which expression uses the greatest common factor and the distributive property to rewrite the sum 64 + 32? 16(4+2) ​ 8(8+4) 32(2)+1 ​ 32(2+1) ​

Answer 1

64+32=32(2+1) is greatest common factor

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since 64 = 32 * 2 and 32 = 32 * 1,

64 + 32 = 32(2 + 1).

16(4 + 2) is wrong as 4 and 2 have a GCF of 2.

8(8 + 4) is wrong as 8 and 4 have a GCF of 4.

32(2) + 1 is the wrong application of the distributive property.
