To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 16 and 14, we look for the largest number that is a factor of both. In this case, the GCF is 2.
Now, we can express 16 plus 14 as a product by factoring out the GCF of 2 from both terms:
16 + 14
= 2*8 + 2*7
= 2(8 + 7)
Therefore, the answer is D. 2(8+7).
Using the greatest common factor for one term how can you write 16 plus 14 as a product?
A. 8(5+1)
B. 9(2+5)
C. 7(8+1)
D. 2(8+7)
