Factor 16s+ 20 write your answer as product with a whole number greater than 1

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(16s + 20\), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients 16 and 20.

The GCF of 16 and 20 is 4. We can factor out 4 from the expression:

\[ 16s + 20 = 4(4s + 5) \]

Thus, the factored form of \(16s + 20\) is:

\[ 4(4s + 5) \]

Here, \(4\) is the whole number greater than 1 that you requested.
