Question

Given the sum 100 = 25 * 75, rewrite 25 and 75 using their GCF and multiplication.

25 = ____ * ____.
Option 1: 5, 5
Option 2: 10, 2
Option 3: 15, 5
Option 4: 20, 5

Answer 1

The number 25 can be rewritten using its Greatest Common Factor (GCF), which is 5, as 5 × 5. This corresponds to Option 1 in the given choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to rewrite the number 25 using its Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and multiplication. The GCF of 25 is 5, because 5 is the largest number that can divide 25 without leaving a remainder. To express 25 using its GCF, we can write it as 5 multiplied by another number.

The correct way to express 25 using its GCF and multiplication is 5 × 5, which corresponds to Option 1. Here's how we determine this:

• 25 divided by 5 equals 5
• Therefore, 25 can be written as 5 × 5

We have thus rewritten the number 25 as the product of its GCF and another number.
