factor 34 + 24. write your answer in the form a(b + c) where a is the gcf of 34 and 24.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find the GCF of 34 and 24
Factors of 34: (1,2,17,34) Factors of 24: (1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24) The GCF of 34 and 24 is (2).
Step2: Divide each number by the GCF
(34\div2 = 17) (24\div2=12)
Step3: Write in the form (a(b + c))
(34 + 24=2\times17+2\times12=2(17 + 12))
Answer:
(2(17 + 12))
