Question

When complete, evaluate the expressions to chec24 + 360/1

Answer 1

To factor an expression using GCF we need to first factorate the numbers. We have:

`\begin{gathered} 24=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot3 \\ 36=2\cdot2\cdot3\cdot3 \end{gathered}`

We now need to take the factors that repeat. We have "2" repeating twice and "3" repeating once. So we have:

`GCF=2\cdot2\cdot3=12`

GCF= 2*2*3=12

We now divide both numbers by the GCF, we have:

`(24)/(12)=2`
`(36)/(12)=3`

We can represent the expression as the product of the GCF with the divisions above.

`12\cdot(2+3)`
