To factor the expression \( 24 + 32 \), you first identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two numbers.

Both 24 and 32 can be divided by 8. Thus, you can factor the expression as follows:

\[
24 + 32 = 8(3) + 8(4) = 8(3 + 4)
\]

So, the factored expression is:

\[
8(3 + 4)
\]

You can also simplify \( 24 + 32 \) before factoring:

\[
24 + 32 = 56
\]

Therefore, another way to represent it in a factored form would be:

\[
56 = 8 \times 7
\]

So, the expressions that factor \( 24 + 32 \) can be represented either as \( 8(3 + 4) \) or simply as showing 56 as \( 8 \times 7 \).
