Question

Find the GCF from the two numbers 24+36, and rewrite the sum using the distributive property

Answer 1

24 + 36 = 12 · 2 + 12 · 3 = 12 · (2 + 3)

Explanation:

Answer 2

24 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 3

36 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 3

GCF(24, 36) = 2 · 2 · 3 = 12

24 = 12 · 2

36 = 12 · 3

24 + 36 = 12 · 2 + 12 · 3 = 12 · (2 + 3)
