Question

Factor the common factor1) -36m + 16

Answer 1

Given:

-36m + 16

To factor out the common factor, let's find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of both values.

GCF of -36 and 16 = -4

Factor out -4 out of -36 and 16:

`-4(9m)-4(-4)`

Factor out -4 out of [-4(9m) - 4(-4)] :

`-4(9m\text{ - 4)}`

ANSWER:

`-4(9m-4)`
