Question

24+36 rewrite as a product of a gcf and a new sum

Answer 1

12(2 + 3)

Explanation:

24: 3 * 2 * 2 * 2

36: 3 * 3 * 2 * 2

The GCF is the bolded numbers in each prime factor breakdown. What is not bolded is what is inside the brackets for the distributive property.

3*2*2 = 12

12(2 + 3) is the answer.
