Answer 2

Explanation:

In this problem, both 7 and 14 can be divided by 1 and 7, meaning these are the factors. This tells us that 7 is the Greatest Common Factor, as 7 is greater than 1.

To factor the expression, we take 7 out of both numbers and put it outside the expression. To do this, we have to divide both numbers by 7. Doing this gives us
`7((7)/(7) +(14)/(7) )`, which simplifies to
`7(1 + 2)`.
