Answer:

Explanation:

13 and 36 have no common factor except 1.

Perhaps you meant that the 13 should be 12. In that case

GCF

  • 12 = 2*2*3
  • 36 = 2*2 *3 * 3

The greatest common factor is 2 * 2 * 3

If there is a number that is not bolded, it is what is left behind inside the backets the distributive property creates.

Answer: 12(1 + 3)

Note: the 1 is part of the answer inside the brackets when one of the numbers inside the brackets and the GCF are the same
