Answer:

so 4(5+4) would be an answer

Explanation

What you should do is find a number that can be divided into both numbers. so 4 as an example, so that number that you use as the divisor goes on the outide of the paranthesis. The inside becomes the quotient of the divisors and the symbol remains the same.
