<span>To rewrite the expression as a multiple of a sum of two numbers with no common factor, we're supposed to find the greatest common factor between the terms and factor it out. </span>We can see that both 15 and 24 are divisible by 3. So let's factor the 3 out. Since the 3 goes into 15 five times and into 24 eight times, the expression can be rewritten like this.
