To factor 16d - 12 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to find the largest number or expression that divides evenly into both terms.

The GCF of 16 and 12 is 4, because 4 is the largest number that divides evenly into both 16 and 12.

Similarly, the GCF of d and 1 is 1, because 1 is the largest number or expression that divides evenly into both d and 1.

Therefore, the GCF of 16d and 12 is 4d, because 4d is the largest expression that divides evenly into both 16d and 12.

We can now factor out the GCF from the given expression to get:

16d - 12 = 4d(4) - 4d(3) = 4d(4 - 3) = 4d(1)

Therefore, the expression 16d - 12 can be factored as 4d(1) or simply 4d.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.

To factor 16d - 12 using the GCF, we need to find the largest common factor of the terms.

The GCF of 16d and 12 is 4, because 4 is the largest number that divides evenly into both 16d and 12.

Now, we can factor out the GCF from the given expression:

16d - 12 = 4(4d - 3)

Therefore, 16d - 12 can be factored as 4(4d - 3).
