Answer:


4(9a+4b)

Explanation:

the expression
36a+16b. factor using the GCF

Write the factor for each term


36a= 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot a


16b= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot b

GCF is the greatest common factor

GCF is 2 times 2 = 4

When we factor out 4 we divide each term by 4


36a+16b


4(9a+4b)
