Question

Use the gcf of 48 and 30 to write the sum of the two numbers as the product of their gcf and another sum

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

48 = 6 · 8

30 = 6 · 5

48 + 30 = 6(8) + 6(5) = 6(8 + 5) = 6(13)

Distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

48 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3

30 = 2 · 3 · 5

GCF(48, 30) = 2 · 3 = 6
