Question

Facor 24n - 32 using the GCF

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression 24n - 32, we need to find the common factors of both terms and then identify the greatest one.

First, let's factor out the GCF of the coefficients. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. The GCF of 24 and 32 is 8.

Next, we look at the variable, n. Since n is common to both terms, we can also factor it out.

Putting it all together, the expression 24n - 32 can be factored as:

8(3n - 4)
