Use properties of operations to factor 8w + 16 using GCF

Answer 1

To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression 8w + 16, we first need to identify the GCF of the coefficients, which is 8.

We can then write 8w as (8 * w) and 16 as (8 * 2), using the distributive property of multiplication.

Now, we can factor out the GCF, 8, from both terms:

8w + 16 = 8 * w + 8 * 2

Using the distributive property again, we can factor out the GCF:

8w + 16 = 8 * (w + 2)

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

Answer 2

was it right

Answer 3

Yes, my previous response is correct. The factored form of 8w + 16 using the GCF is indeed 8(w + 2).
