Question

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor 16+36

Answer 1

16+36

4(4+9)

or 4*13


so 4

Answer 2

Answer:

$4(4+9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor $16+36$.

First of all, we will find greatest common factor of 16 and 36 as:

Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.

We can see that the greatest common factor of 16 and 36 is 4.

We can rewrite our given sum as:

$4\cdot 4+4\cdot 9$

Using distributive property $a(b+c)=ab+ac$, we will get:

$4(4+9)$

Therefore, our expression would be $4(4+9)$.
