Factor 27t–24.

Question

Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(27t - 24\), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

The GCF of 27 and 24 is 3. We can factor out 3 from the expression:

\[ 27t - 24 = 3(9t - 8) \]

Thus, the factored form of \(27t - 24\) is:

\[ 3(9t - 8) \]

Here, 3 is a whole number greater than 1, and \(9t - 8\) is the remaining expression.
