Question

Complete the following.(a) Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 63 and 36.хGCF = 0(b) Use the GCF to factor 63 -36.63 – 36 = (-X

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The GCF of 63 and 36 is 9

b)

`63-36=9*(7-4)`

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find the GCF of 63 and 36, we do the following:

Write 63 and 36 as follows:

`\begin{gathered} 63=3*3*7 \\ 36=2*2*3*3 \end{gathered}`

The common factors are:

`3*3`

Therefore, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is 9

b) To find the factor 63 - 36

`63-36=9*(7-4)`
