Factor the expression completely 1/4 + 15/4
To factor the expression completely, we can first find a common denominator for the two fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 4.
Next, we can rewrite both fractions with the common denominator:
1/4 + 15/4
Notice that both fractions now have the same denominator, 4. Now, we can combine the numerators:
(1 + 15)/4
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
16/4
Finally, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
16/4 = 4
Therefore, the expression 1/4 + 15/4 is equal to 4.
