Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.44h−33=
Find GCF of coefficients: We need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients 44 and −33.To find the GCF, we list the factors of each number and find the largest factor they have in common.Factors of 44: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44Factors of 33: 1, −331, 11, 33The GCF of 44 and 33 is 11.
List factors of 44 and 33: Now that we have the GCF, we can use the distributive property to factor out 11 from the expression 44h−33.We divide each term by the GCF and write the factored expression.44h÷11=4h−33÷11=−3So, the expression becomes 11(4h−3).
