Factor 10v+16. Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.

Answer 1

The only number that goes into 10 and 16 is 2, so you need to factor out a 2.

2 goes into 10, 5 times and 2 goes into16, 8 times.

The 2 goes in front.

The 5 and the 8 go inside the parentheses.

Here's the answer: 2(5v+8)

Answer 2

The factors of 10v are 1, 2, 5, 10, and v.

The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8,and 16.

The largest common factor is 2, so the factored form is 2(5v + 8)

Answer 3

To factor a binomial factor out the greatest common factor.

2(5V + 8)
