The greatest common factor, or GCF, is quite self-explanatory. Between two numbers, you have to find the greatest number that can be divided by both numbers without any remainder. This is useful in solving addition and subtraction operations involving fractions. The technique to do this is to place the numbers to the right. Then, place the factors to the left. I'm gonna show the solution so that you can understand better.
4 | 12 28 24

| 3 7 6

Since all numbers can be divided by 4, you place it on the left side. Then, place the quotients on the next row below. Since, there is no more common factor, it ends with the 2nd row. Then, multiply all the left numbers with the numbers in the very last column.
GCF = 4×3×7×6
GCF = 504
6x^2 + x - 15 = 6x^2 - 9x + 10x - 15 = 3x(2x - 3) + 5(2x - 3) = (3x + 5)(2x - 3)
Therefore, the other factor is 3x + 5.
Hhhhmmmmm...
13.50 for food
2.40 for drink
Since there is a voucher for 1/3 of food,
13.50 multiplied by 1/3 is 4.5 which is the discount
13.50-4.5=9
9 is the final cost for the food.
Add 9 to 2.40 for the drink which results in a total of 11.40
To find the amount charged for service you multiply 11.40 by .15
11.40 × .15 = 1.71
You add 1.71 to 11.40
The total is 13.11
