To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression \(18j + 27\), we first identify the coefficients of each term, which are 18 and 27.
Now, we can find the GCF of 18 and 27:
- The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
- The factors of 27 are: 1, 3, 9, 27
The common factors are: 1, 3, 9. The greatest of these is 9.
Therefore, the GCF of \(18j + 27\) is **9**.
Now, we can find the GCF of 18 and 27:
- The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
- The factors of 27 are: 1, 3, 9, 27
The common factors are: 1, 3, 9. The greatest of these is 9.
Therefore, the GCF of \(18j + 27\) is **9**.
