Answer:

28(3 +1)

Explanation:

You want the expression 84+28 to be factored using the GCF.

GCF

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 84 and 28 can be found by looking at the remainder from division of 84 by 28.

84 ÷ 28 = 3 r 0

The remainder is 0, so 28 is a factor of 84. Since it is also the largest factor of itself, it is the GCF of the two numbers.

Distributive property

Factoring out 28, we have ...

84 +28 = 28·3 +28·1 = 28(3 +1)

The factored expression is 28(3 +1).
