Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the expression 6p+2. The terms are 6p and 2. The GCF of 6 and 2 is 2.
Factor out GCF: Factor out the GCF from the expression.The expression 6p+2 can be written as 2(3p)+2(1), which simplifies to 2(3p+1).
Check factored expression: Check the factored expression to ensure that it is equivalent to the original expression when expanded.Expanding 2(3p+1) gives 2⋅3p+2⋅1, which simplifies to 6p+2. This matches the original expression, so there is no math error.
