Find the GCF of 15q+6

Question

.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the expression \( 15q + 6 \), we need to identify the common factors of the numerical coefficients and any common variable factors.

1. The coefficients are 15 and 6.
2. The prime factorization of 15 is \( 3 \times 5 \).
3. The prime factorization of 6 is \( 2 \times 3 \).
4. The common factor between 15 and 6 is \( 3 \).

Now, we can also note that the variable \( q \) appears only in one term, so it cannot be included in the GCF.

Thus, the GCF of the expression \( 15q + 6 \) is \( 3 \).
