Question

Use the GCF and the Distributive Property to express the sum as a product.28 +16The sum as a product isх+

Answer 1

Lets find the GCF of 28 and 16

Factors of 28 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28

Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The common factors are 1, 2, and 4

The greatest common factor (GCF) is 4

So, we take out 4 from each number and write the rest.

So,

(28+16) = 4(7+4)
