Exercise 2 Page 110

Rewrite each term as a product of its prime factors to find the greatest common factor (GCF) between the terms.

4(y-5)

Practice makes perfect
To factor the expression, we have to find the greatest common factor (GCF) between the terms. Let's then rewrite each term as a product of its prime factors. 4y&= 2* 2 * y 20&= 2* 2 * 5 In this case, the GCF is 2 * 2 = 4. We are going to rewrite each term as 4 multiplied by some factor. Then we will use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
4y-20
4 * y-4 * 5
4(y-5)
