The factored form of given expression is:
Solution:
Given that we have to factor the given expression
Given expression is:
40x + 24y - 56
We can factor the expression by taking the greatest common factor out
When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same , then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.
Find G.C.F of 40, 24 and 56
The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The factors of 40 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
The factors of 56 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
Then the greatest common factor is 8
Thus factor out 8 from given expression
Thus the given expression is factored
