Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 56+32=
Please respond to my question, that would mean alot to me.
Thanks, Lucas
what is the highest number that divides into both 56 and 32 ?
That would be 8 , so ...
56+32
= 8*7 + 8*4
= 8(7 + 4)
Thank you sooooo much Reiny!

Of course, Lucas! I'd be happy to help you with your question.
To respond to your question, we'll use the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor of 56 and 32.
First, let's find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 56 and 32. The GCF is the largest number that divides both 56 and 32 without leaving a remainder. In this case, the GCF of 56 and 32 is 8.
Applying the distributive property, we can factor out the GCF of 8:
56 + 32 = 8 * 7 + 8 * 4
= 8(7 + 4)
= 8 * 11
= 88
So, the answer is 88.
