To factor the expression 24n - 32 using the GCF, we need to find the largest common factor of the coefficients 24 and 32.
Step 1: Find the GCF of 24 and 32:
The prime factorization of 24 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 2^3 * 3.
The prime factorization of 32 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^5.
The common factors of 24 and 32 are 2^3 = 8.
Step 2: Divide both terms by the GCF:
Dividing 24n by 8 gives us 3n.
Dividing 32 by 8 gives us 4.
Therefore, the factored form of 24n - 32 using the GCF is:
8(3n - 4).
