Exercise 23 Page 113

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

3(4+3g-10h)

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. 12&=2* 2 * 3 9g&= 3 * 3 * g 30h&= 2 * 3 * 5 * h In this case, the GCF is 3. We are going to rewrite each term as 3 multiplied by some factor. Then we will use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
12+9g-30h
3 * 4 + 3 * 3g - 3 * 10h
3(4+3g-10h)
