Question

What is the result of factoring out the gcf from the expression (24 36)?

Answer 1

Greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12. By just observing.

Factoring out 12.

24 = 12*2

36 = 12*3

(24 36) = 12(2 3)

Answer 2

gcf of the given expression (24 , 36) is 12.

Explanation:

Given: expression (24 , 36)

We have to find the gcf of the given expression (24 , 36).

GCF stands for greatest common factor that divide the two numbers.

24 can be written as 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

36 can be written as 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Thus, factors that are Common to both numbers 24 and 36 are 2 × 2 × 3

Thus, gcf of the given expression (24 , 36) is 12.
