  • 24=2×2×2×3=2³×3
  • 88=2×2×2×11=2³×11

2³ is GCF

  • 24+88
  • 2³3+2³×11
  • 2³(3+11)
  • 2³(14)
  • 8(14)
  • 112

Answer:

  • 8*(3 + 11)

Explanation:

Find the prime factors of each number:

  • 24 = 2*2*2*3
  • 88 = 2*2*2*11

GCF of the numbers is:

  • 2*2*2 = 8

Factor the expression:

  • 24 + 88 = 8*3 + 8*11 = 8*(3 + 11)
