Factor 8w+16 using gcf

1 answer

To factor 8w + 16 using the greatest common factor (GCF), you need to determine the largest factor that both 8w and 16 share.

The GCF of 8w and 16 is 8 because 8 is the largest number that evenly divides both 8w and 16.

Now, you can rewrite 8w + 16 as:

8(w + 2)

Therefore, the factored form of 8w + 16 using GCF is 8(w + 2).
