Question

What is the result of factoring out the GCF from the expression (24 + 36)?

Answer 1

6(4+6) because divide 24 and 36 by 6

Answer 2

After taking GCF out from given expression we get 12 × ( 2 + 3 ) or 12 × 5

Explanation:

Given Expression = 24 + 36

To find Expresion after taking out GCF from given expression

• GCF means Greatest Common Factor

First we find GCF of 24 and 36

factors of 24 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

factors of 36 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 36

⇒ GCF = 12

Consider, 24 + 36

⇒ 12 × 2 + 12 × 3

⇒ 12 × ( 2 + 3 )

⇒ 12 × 5

Therefore, After taking GCF out from given expression we get 12 × ( 2 + 3 ) or 12 × 5
