Question

Can someone please help me with this? Factor the expression 64x+16 using the GCF

Pls? I rly need help

Answer 1

`16(4x+1)`

Explanation:

`"we require to find the "color(blue)"highest common factor"`
`"of 64 and 16"`

`"consider the factors of these numbers"`

`"factors of 16 "=1,2,4,8" and "color(red)(16)`

`"factors of 64 "=1,2,4,8,color(red)(16),32" and "64`

`"take out the "color(blue)"highest common factor "color(red)(16)`

`rArr64x+16=color(red)(16)(4x+1)larrcolor(blue)"factored form"`

Answer 2

`64 x + 16 = 16(4 x + 1)`

Explanation:

The greatest common factor of `64 x` and `16` is `16`, because `16` divides `64` evenly, i.e. `64=4\times 16`. There can't be any factor in common bigger than 16. So,

`64 x + 16 = 16(4 x + 1)`.
