Question

The expression 15w + 65 factored using the gcf is?

Answer 1

The gcf is 5, factored it’d look like
5(w+13)

Answer 2

Answer:

$5(3w+13)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Prime factorization of 65 and 15 will give us 5 as is Greatest Common Factor

65|5

13|13

1

15|5

3|3

1

2

2) Placing the common factor outside the parentheses. And inside the sum of its quotients.

$\frac{65}{5}=13\\\frac{15w}{5}=3w$

There you have, a simplified expression:

$5(3w+13)$
