Use properties of operations to factor 8w + 16 using the GCF. (1 point)
Responses

6(2w + 10)
6 Left Parenthesis 2 w plus 10 Right Parenthesis

2(4w + 8)
2 Left Parenthesis 4 w plus 8 Right Parenthesis

8(w + 2)
8 Left Parenthesis w plus 2 Right Parenthesis

4(2w + 4)

Answer 1

To factor the expression \( 8w + 16 \) using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to determine the GCF of the coefficients 8 and 16.

The GCF of 8 and 16 is 8.

Now we can factor out 8 from the expression:

\[
8w + 16 = 8(w + 2)
\]

So, the correct response is:

**8(w + 2)**.
