āˆ’
12
using the GCF.(1 point)

1 answer

To factor the expression \( 16d - 12 \) using the greatest common factor (GCF), follow these steps:

  1. Identify the GCF of the coefficients (16 and 12). The GCF of 16 and 12 is 4.

  2. Factor out the GCF from the expression:

    \[ 16d - 12 = 4(4d - 3) \]

Thus, the factored form of \( 16d - 12 \) is \( 4(4d - 3) \).
