Question

Consider the expression 63 + 81.

Answer 1

The GCF of 63 and 81 is 9, so you can use that as the factor outside of the parentheses. Divide both numbers by 9 and write the sum as 9(7 + 9). You can check that the sum 63 + 81 is the same as the product 9(7 +9).

Answer 2

63+81=9(7+9)
You can check your answer by:
9(7+9)
9(7+ )=63
9( +9)=81
Multiplying the GCF by every term in the parenthesis.
