Factor 2z+6.

Question

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

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(2z + 6\), we can look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.

The GCF of \(2z\) and \(6\) is \(2\).

Now, we can factor out \(2\) from the expression:

\[ 2z + 6 = 2(z + 3) \]

So, the factored form of \(2z + 6\) is:

\[ 2(z + 3) \]

This answer includes the whole number \(2\), which is greater than \(1\).
