The factors of a number are <em>all of the positive whole numbers that go into it evenly</em>. For example, 2 is a factor of 6 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, or equivalently, 6 = 2 x 3. Note that this naturally implies that every whole number has 1 and itself as a factor.
The numbers that go evenly into 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. For 27, those numbers are 1, 3, 9, and 27.
The <em>common factors </em>between two numbers are numbers that go into <em>both </em>numbers evenly. Looking through the lists for 24 and 27, we see that 1 and 3 are their common factors. The <em>greatest</em> common factor is, of course, the largest of these, so the greatest common factor of 24 and 27 is 3.
Answer:
<h2>49</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Use PEMDAS:
P Parentheses first
E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)
AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)
==============================================
(-5)² - 2 × (-9) + 6 <em>first </em><em>E</em><em>xponents</em>
25 - 2 × (-9) + 6 <em>next </em><em>M</em><em>ultiplication</em>
25 + 18 + 6 <em>next </em><em>A</em><em>ddition</em>
43 + 6 = 49
(2x^2 + 16x + 30) / (5x^2 + 13x -6)
Start by factoring the numerator and denominator.
Cancel any like factors.
2(x^2 + 8x + 15)
2(x + 5)(x + 3) / (5x -2)(x + 3
2(x + 5) / (5x - 2)
The third choice
