Q. Write the expression 16x+28 as a product using the GCF as one of the factors.16x+28=□(□x+□)
List Factors: To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 16 and 28, we need to list the factors of each number and find the largest factor they have in common.Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16Factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 282, 283, 28The GCF of 16 and 28 is 4.
Find GCF: Now that we have the GCF, we can express 16x+28 as a product using the GCF as one of the factors.We divide both terms by the GCF to find the other factor.16x÷4=4x28÷4=7
Express as Product: We can now write the expression as a product using the GCF.16x+28=4(4x+7)
