factor 24 + 36. write your answer in the form a(b + c) where a is the gcf of 24 and 36.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find GCF of 24 and 36
Prime - factorize: (24 = 2\times2\times2\times3), (36=2\times2\times3\times3). GCF(=2\times2\times3 = 12).
Step2: Divide each term by GCF
(\frac{24}{12}=2), (\frac{36}{12}=3).
Answer:
(12(2 + 3))
