Answer:
4(7 + 6)
Explanation:
Step 1: Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 28 and 24.
The greatest common factor (or the highest that evenly divides into) 28 and 24 is 4.
Step 2: Divide 28 and 24 by GCF and place the result in parentheses.
28 / 4 = 7 and 24 / 4 = 6.
Thus, the final answer is 4(7 + 6).
Optional Step 3: Check validity of answer:
We can check that our answer is correct by seeing if we get the same result for 28 + 24 and 4(7 + 6)
28 + 24 = 4(7 + 6)
52 = 4(13)
52 = 52
Thus, our answer is correct.
