The greatest common factor of 80 and 16 is 16. Therefore, we can write 80 + 16 as 16(5 + 1). Thus, the expression that shows (80 + 16) in the form of c(a + b), where c is the greatest common factor of 80 and 16, is 16(5+1). Therefore, the correct response is 16(5+1).
To express (80 + 16) in the form of c(a + b), where c is the greatest common factor of 80 and 16, we need to find the greatest common factor of 80 and 16 first.
The greatest common factor of 80 and 16 is 16.
So, the expression in the required form is:
16(5 + 1)
