When two numbers in an addition expression share a common factor, you can write the expression as a multiplication expression.
Sum:
10 + 15 = _
Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15
GCF of 10 and 15: _
Equivalent expression:
10 + 15
5 (_) + 5(3)
_ (2+3)
Now what we have is an equivalent mutiplication expression to our original addition expression.
10+15 = _ (2+3)
25 = _

Let's fill in the blanks step by step.
Sum: 10 + 15 = 25 Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10 Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15 GCF of 10 and 15: 5
Now, we can rewrite the expression using the common factor:
Equivalent expression:
10 + 15
5 (2) + 5(3)
5 (2 + 3)
Now what we have is an equivalent multiplication expression to our original addition expression.
10 + 15 = 5 (2 + 3)
25 = 25
