Factor 48y+36z using the GCF

1 answer

To factor 48y + 36z using the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to find the greatest common factor of 48 and 36.

The prime factorization of 48 is 2^4 * 3, and the prime factorization of 36 is 2^2 * 3^2.

The GCF of 48 and 36 is 2^2 * 3 = 12.

Therefore, we can factor out 12 from 48y and 36z:
48y + 36z = 12(4y + 3z)
