Factor out the greatest common factor.

Question

35x–15=

Answer 1

To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression \( 35x - 15 \), we first identify the GCF of the coefficients 35 and 15.

1. The factors of 35 are: \( 1, 5, 7, 35 \)
2. The factors of 15 are: \( 1, 3, 5, 15 \)

The greatest common factor of 35 and 15 is \( 5 \).

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

\[ 35x - 15 = 5(7x - 3) \]

So, the factored form of \( 35x - 15 \) is:

\[ 5(7x - 3) \]
