actor Sixteen D minus twelve using the G C F

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 16D - 12 \) using the greatest common factor (GCF), follow these steps:

  1. Identify the constants: The coefficients of \( D \) are 16 and 12.

  2. Find the GCF: The GCF of 16 and 12 is 4.

  3. Factor out the GCF:

\[ 16D - 12 = 4(4D - 3) \]

So, the expression \( 16D - 12 \) factored using the GCF is \( 4(4D - 3) \).
