Question

Factor the expression using the GCF.

4m+32

Answer 1

4 = 1,2,4
32 = 1,2,4,6,8,16,32
We can see that the gcf is 4
divide 4m by 4 which is m
divide 32 by 4 which is 8
which will come out to be 4(m+8)
hope this helps.

Answer 2

hello!

In order to factor this expression, we should divide both terms of this binomial (a polynomial with 2 terms) by 4 (the greatest common factor)

Note:- We usually factor out the Greatest Common Factor, or the GCF.

Divide:-

m

8

Add the terms:-

m+8

Put parentheses around them:-

(m+8)

Put 4 outside the parentheses:-

4(m+8)

notes:-

If you wonder whether or not you've factored correctly, you can use the distributive property & distribute :)
