Use properties of operations to factor 8w + 16 using the GCF.
O 2(4w + 8)
O 6(2w + 10)
O 8(w + 2)
○ 4(2w + 4)
To factor 8w + 16 using the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), we need to find the largest number that divides evenly into both 8w and 16. The GCF of 8 and 16 is 8.
Then, we divide both terms by 8:
8w ÷ 8 = w
16 ÷ 8 = 2
Therefore, the factorization of 8w + 16 using the GCF is:
8w + 16 = 8(w + 2)
The correct answer is option O 8(w + 2).
