Question

8y-36 factor the expression completely

Answer 1

4(2y-9) is your answer factored completely out

Answer 2

factored form of 8y - 36 is 4 (2y - 9)

Explanation:

Given : 8y-36

We have to factorize the expression completely.

Factorization is the process of writing an expression in simplest form in forms of factors such that the product gives the original expression.

Consider the given expression 8y - 36

Since, 8 can be written as 4 × 2

and 36 can be written as 4 × 9

Thus, 8y - 36 can be written as (4 × 2)y - (4 × 9)

Taking 4 common from both terms, we get,

(4 × 2)y - (4 × 9) = 4 (2y - 9)

Thus, factored form of 8y - 36 is 4 (2y - 9)
