Question

Enita is factoring the expression 32 a b minus 8 b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8 b (4 a minus 0). Which best describes Venita’s error?
a. She incorrectly determined the GCF.
b. She subtracted the GCF from the second term in the expression instead of dividing.
c. She divided the GCF into the first term in the expression instead of subtracting.
d. She divided each piece of the expression by different factors.

Answer 1

This shows that the greatest common factor is 8, Hence Venita's error is that she incorrectly determined the GCF.

Greatest common factor

Given the following expression

32ab - 8

Find the factors of each terms

32ab = 8 * 4. * a * b

8 = 8 * 1

Since 8 is common to both factors, hence

32ab - 8 = 8(4ab -1)

This shows that the greatest common factor is 8, Hence Venita's error is that she incorrectly determined the GCF.
