Q. Factor 16x+20.Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.______
Find GCF of 16x and 20: Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 16x and 20. To find the GCF, list the factors of each number: Factors of 16x: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 200, 201, 202, 203, 16x Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 209, 16x0, 20 The common factors are 1, 2, and 4. The highest is 4.
Factor out GCF from 16x+20: Factor out the GCF from 16x+20. Using the GCF of 4, we write: 16x+20=4(4x)+4(5)=4(4x+5)
