Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf 8(k-2)}$

Explanation:

→ We want to factorize this expression:

$\sf 8k-16$

◼ We know that ab - ac = a(b - c)

The greatest common factor of 8k and 16 is 8.

So, in our expression:

$\sf a = 8\\b = k\\c = 2$

◼ Factorize out 8 from both terms:

$\sf 8 * k - 8 * 2$

$\boxed{\sf 8(k-2)}$

Conclusion:

The expression 8k - 16 is equal to 8(k - 2).
