How do I Express 18+24 as the product of the GCF and another sum

Answer 1

`6(3+4)`

Explanation:

We are asked to represent
`18+24` as the product of the GCF and another sum.

First of all, we will find the greatest common factor of 18 and 24.

Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

We can see that greatest common factor of 18 and 24 is 6. Let us write our given expression as product.

`6\cdot 3+6\cdot 4`

Factor our 6:

`6(3+4)`

Therefore, our required expression would be
`6(3+4)`.
