To rewrite the expression by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to identify the common factors in each term.
The factors of each term are:
24ab^2c = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * a * b^2 * c
18a^3b = 2 * 3 * 3 * a^3 * b
The GCF is the largest factor that appears in each term. In this case, the GCF is 6ab.
Next, we divide each term by the GCF:
24ab^2c ÷ 6ab = 4bc
18a^3b ÷ 6ab= 3a^2
Therefore, the expression 24ab^2c + 18a^3b can be rewritten as:
6ab(4bc + 3a^2)
how would you rewrite 24ab^2c+18a^3b by factoring out the gcf
