factor 9z+18 using gcf

1 answer

To factor 9z + 18 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to find the largest common factor of both 9z and 18.

The GCF of 9z and 18 is 9 because 9 is a common factor of both 9 and 18, and it is the largest factor they have in common.

We can rewrite 9z + 18 as 9(z + 2) by factoring out the GCF.
