Factor 32y+8.

Question

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

Answer 1

To factor the expression \( 32y + 8 \), we can look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

The GCF of \( 32y \) and \( 8 \) is \( 8 \).

Now, we can factor out \( 8 \) from the expression:

\[ 32y + 8 = 8(4y + 1) \]

So, the factored form of \( 32y + 8 \) as a product with a whole number greater than 1 is:

\[ 8(4y + 1) \]
