1 answer

To factor the expression \( 12y + 6 \) using the greatest common factor (GCF), follow these steps:

  1. Identify the GCF: The coefficients are 12 and 6. The GCF of 12 and 6 is 6.

  2. Factor out the GCF: Divide each term in the expression by the GCF:

    \[ 12y + 6 = 6(2y) + 6(1) \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ = 6(2y + 1) \]

So, the factored form of \( 12y + 6 \) is:

\[ 6(2y + 1) \]
