Question

Apply the distributive property to Factor out the greatest common factor of 75+20​

Answer 1

Answer:

75 + 20 = 5 (15 + 4) = 5 × 19 = 95

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime factors of 75 are 3 × 5 × 5.

Again, the prime factors of 20 are 2 × 2 × 5

Therefore, the greatest common factor of 75 and 20 is 5.

Now, 75 + 20

= 5 × 15 + 5 × 4

= 5(15 + 4) {Using the distributive property of multiplication}

= 5 × 19

= 95 (Answer)
