Exercise 9 Page 111

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

8(2n-3)

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. 16n&= 2* 2 * 2* 2 * n 24&= 2* 2 * 2 * 3 In this case, the GCF is 2 * 2 * 2= 8. We are going to rewrite each term as 8 multiplied by some factor. Then we will use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
16n-24
8 * 2n - 8 * 3
8(2n-3)
