Question

What is the quotient when dividing 56r-124t ?

Answer 1

To divide the expression \(56r - 124t\), you first need to consider by what term you want to divide it. If we assume you want to divide the entire expression by a common factor or a specific variable, let's take the common factor approach.

First, we can factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the terms \(56r\) and \(-124t\). The GCF for the coefficients 56 and 124 is 28, so we can factor 28 out of the expression:

\[
56r - 124t = 28(2r - 4.428571t)
\]

If you divide the entire expression \(56r - 124t\) by 28, you would get:

\[
\frac{56r - 124t}{28} = 2r - \frac{124}{28}t = 2r - 4.43t \quad (\text{approximately})
\]

If you give me a different term to divide by (like \(r\), \(t\), or some other polynomial), I can give you the specific quotient. Let me know!
