Answer 1

Given:

32 and 28 are the two numbers.

To find:

(a) The GCF of 32 and 28.

(b) Using the GCF, find the factor of (32-28).

Solution:

(a)

The factor forms of the given numbers are:

`32=2* 2* 2* 2* 2`

`28=2* 2* 7`

It is clear that, 2 and 2 are the common factors in both.

`GCF(32,28)=2* 2`

`GCF(32,28)=4`

Hence, the GCF of 32 and 28 is 4.

(b)

Using the GCF we need to find the factor of (32-28).

`32-28=4* 8-4* 7`

Taking out the GCF, we get

`32-28=4* (8-7)`

Hence,
`32-28=4* (8-7)`.
