Question

What is the quotient when dividing 56r−124t ?

Answer 1

To find the quotient when dividing the expression \( 56r - 124t \), we need to first factor out any common factors in the expression.

The coefficients 56 and -124 can be factored. The greatest common factor (GCF) of 56 and 124 is 4. Therefore, we can factor out 4 from the expression:

\[
56r - 124t = 4(14r - 31t)
\]

Now, if you want to express this in terms of the quotient when dividing by 4, you could write:

\[
\frac{56r - 124t}{4} = 14r - 31t
\]

So the quotient of \( 56r - 124t \) divided by 4 is \( 14r - 31t \).

If you were referring to something else or a different division, please clarify!
