Exercise 16 Page 113

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

14(p-2)

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. 14p&= 2* 7 * p 28&= 2* 2 * 7 In this case, the GCF is 2* 7=14. We are going to rewrite each term as 14 multiplied by some factor. Then we will use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
14p-28
14 * p-14 * 2
14(p-2)
