22+33 using GCF and the distributive property.​

1 Answer

6 votes
Factors:

22 : 1 2 11 22
33 : 1 3 11 33

Both have the GCF of 11. By removing 11 from both numbers you end up with:

22 = 2 * 11
33 = 3 * 11

Now replace the values on the right of the equals sign into the original equation:

(2 * 11) + ( 3 * 11)

The distributive property allows us to remove the common values and rewrite as:

11(2 + 3)

This gives:

11(5)
