Question

(a) Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 6 and 2.

GCF = ☐

(b) Use the GCF to factor 6 - 2.
6 - 2 = ☐ × (☐ - ☐)

Answer 1

Explanation:

(a) The greatest common factor (GCF) of 6 and 2 is 2.

(b) Using the GCF of 2, we can factor 6 - 2 as follows:

6 - 2 = 2 × 3 - 2

= 2 × (3 - 1)

= 2 × 2

Therefore, 6 - 2 = 2 × 2.
