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

Answer 1

To factor 8w + 16 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to find the common factors of 8w and 16.

The factors of 8w are 1, 2, 4, 8, w, 2w, 4w, and 8w.
The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

The common factors of 8w and 16 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

The GCF of 8w and 16 is 8.

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

8w + 16 = 8(w + 2)
