factor 16x^2+-64
Factor out Gcf If necessary and equation if Factored form
To factor the expression 16x^2 - 64, first find the greatest common factor (GCF) which is 16.
Factor out the GCF:
16(x^2 - 4)
Now, the expression can be further factored using the difference of squares formula:
16(x + 2)(x - 2)
Therefore, the factored form of 16x^2 - 64 is 16(x + 2)(x - 2).
