You can factor by 6. 54/6 = 9 • 24/6 = 4

Now, it is 9+4
If you were to distribute the 6 to both numbers like this.. 6(9+4) it will equal 54+24. Hope this helps :)

Answer:6(9+4)


Explanation:

Given expression: 54+24

To factorize the given expression first we need to find the greatest common factor of both the terms

For that write the prime factorization of the terms


54=2*3*3*3\\24=2*2*2*3

We can see the GCF(54,24)=
2*3=6

Therefore, taking 6 out from the numbers as gcf, we get


54+24=6(9+4)
