Answered by GPT-4o mini
To factor the expression \(48r - 16s - 8t\), we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients:

1. The coefficients are 48, -16, and -8.
2. The GCF of 48, 16, and 8 is 8.

Now we factor out 8 from each term:

\[
48r - 16s - 8t = 8(6r - 2s - t)
\]

Thus, the expression factored as a product with a whole number greater than 1 is:

\[
8(6r - 2s - t)
\]
