(3 points) Use Greatest Common Factor to rewrite the expression: (63+81) = ( + )

1 answer

To find the expression for (63+81) using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to determine the GCF of 63 and 81.

  1. Prime factorization of the numbers:

    • 63=32×7
    • 81=34
  2. Identify the GCF:

    • The common factor here is 3. The smallest power of 3 in both factorizations is 32=9.

So, the GCF of 63 and 81 is 9.

  1. Rewrite the expression:

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

63+81=9×(7+9)

  1. Final expression:

So, the rewritten expression is:

(63+81)=9×(7+9)

Thus, (63+81)=(9×7)+(9×9).
