Answer

56 - 28 = 28 (2 - 1)

Step-by-step explanation

The distributive property is used to open brackets or put an equation inside a bracket.

A factor of a number is a digit that can divide the number without leaving a remainder.

The greatest common factor of 56 and 28 is 28

56 = 28 × 2

28 = 28 × 1

56 - 28

= (28 × 2) - (28 × 1)

= 28 (2 - 1)

This is the factored simplification of this

If we then need to solve further,

28 (2 - 1) = 28 (1) = 28

Hope this Helps!!!
