To factor the expression \( 16a - 12b \), we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients of the terms.
The coefficients are 16 and -12. The GCF of 16 and 12 is 4.
Now, we can factor out 4 from the expression:
\[
16a - 12b = 4(4a - 3b)
\]
So, the factored form of \( 16a - 12b \) is:
\[
4(4a - 3b)
\]
The coefficients are 16 and -12. The GCF of 16 and 12 is 4.
Now, we can factor out 4 from the expression:
\[
16a - 12b = 4(4a - 3b)
\]
So, the factored form of \( 16a - 12b \) is:
\[
4(4a - 3b)
\]
