We want to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the given expression.
4n- 32
Let's start by finding the GCF of 4 and 32 by listing all possible factors of both numbers.
Factors of4:& 1, 2, and 4
Factors of32:& 1, 2, 4,8,16, and 32
We can see that the highest value of the common factors is 4. Therefore, the GCF of the expression is 4. Now we can write the given expression in terms of the GCF.
4n-32 ⇔ 4* n- 4* 8
Finally, we will factor out the GCF.
4* n- 4* 8 ⇔ 4(n-8)
