Question

Factor the GCF from 16p^4+4p^3

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`16p^4+4p^3`

The GCF of p^4 and p^3 = p^3

And the greatest common factor of 16 and 4 = 4

so,

`\begin{gathered} (16p^4)/(4p^3)=4p \\ \\ (4p^3)/(4p^3)=1 \end{gathered}`

So, the factors of the given expression will be:

`16p^4+4p^3=4p^3(4p+1)`
