Find the GCF of the two numbers and rewrite the song of the two numbers using the distributive property 14+24
To find the GCF of 14 and 24, we need to list the factors of each number and find the greatest one they have in common.
The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14.
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
The greatest common factor of 14 and 24 is 2.
To rewrite the sum of 14 and 24 using the distributive property, we can write:
14 + 24 = 2 * 7 + 2 * 12
Using the distributive property, we can factor out the greatest common factor of 2:
14 + 24 = 2 * (7 + 12)
So the sum of 14 and 24 can be written as 2 times the sum of 7 and 12, using the distributive property.
