Given:
Two numbers are 32 and 28.
To find:
The GCF of 32 and 28 and using the GCF find the factor of (32-28).
Solution:
(a)
Two numbers are 32 and 28. The factor form of given numbers are:
Clearly, 2 and 2 are common factors in both.
Therefore, the GCF of 32 and 28 is 4.
(b)
Using the GCF we need to find the factor of (32-28).
Taking out the GCF, we get
Therefore,
.
