Question

 In the expression 9z^4-8+15(y^3+6), name the two factors of the term 15(y^3+6)

Answer 1

The two factors are 15 and y^3+6

Factors multiply to get a product. You can take this process in reverse.

As another example, the number 12 factors into 3*4, where 3 and 4 are the two factors. This idea applies to both numbers and variable expressions as well.
