Question
Find the GCF of the two numbers, and rewrite the sum of the two numbers using the distributive property.
12 + 18
Responses
A 4(2 + 3)4(2 + 3)
B 4 + (2 + 3)4 + (2 + 3)
C 6(2 + 3)6(2 + 3)
D 6 + (2 + 3)
To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 12 and 18, we need to first find the factors of each number:
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
The GCF of 12 and 18 is 6.
Now, we can rewrite the sum of the two numbers using the distributive property:
12 + 18 = 6(2) + 6(3) = 6(2 + 3)
Therefore, the correct response is:
A 4(2 + 3)4(2 + 3)
