Factor 45w + 35 write your answer as product with a whole number greater than 1

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(45w + 35\), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

The coefficients are \(45\) and \(35\).

• The factors of \(45\) are \(1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45\).
• The factors of \(35\) are \(1, 5, 7, 35\).

The GCF of \(45\) and \(35\) is \(5\).

Now, we factor out \(5\):

\[ 45w + 35 = 5(9w + 7) \]

So, the factored form is:

\[ 5(9w + 7) \]

This is a product with a whole number greater than \(1\).
