How do you find the GCF from 55 + 22 = and rewrite the sum using the Distributive Property?

First, you have to know how to factor numbers.

55 = 11*5
22 = 11*2

The only factor which is common to both is 11, so you have

11*5 + 11*2 = 11(5+2)

To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two numbers, we need to identify the largest number that divides evenly into both of them.

In this case, the two numbers given are 55 and 22.

To find the GCF, we can start by listing the factors of each number and then find the common factors they share.

Factors of 55: 1, 5, 11, 55
Factors of 22: 1, 2, 11, 22

The common factors of 55 and 22 are 1 and 11.

Therefore, the GCF of 55 and 22 is 11.

Now let's move on to rewrite the sum using the Distributive Property.

The Distributive Property states that for any two numbers A, B, and C, the expression A(B + C) is equal to AB + AC.

In our case, we have the sum 55 + 22.

To rewrite it using the Distributive Property, we can consider it as 55(1) + 22(1), since 1 is a common factor of any number.

Now, we can apply the Distributive Property:

55(1) + 22(1)
= 55(1) + 22(1)
= 55 + 22

Therefore, the sum 55 + 22 rewritten using the Distributive Property remains the same: 55 + 22.
