Question

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 55+35=

Answer 1

Answer:

The greatest common factor of 55 and 35 is 5,(5(11+7))5,(5(11+7)) .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

55 + 35

To find, the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor,

55 + 35 = ?

We know that,

The distributive property of multiplycation,

a\times b + a\times c=a\times (b+c)a×b+a×c=a×(b+c)

The factors of 55 = 1, 5, 11 and 55 and

The factors of 35 = 1, 5, 7 and 35

The greatest common factor of 55 and 35 = 5

55+35=5\times 11+5\times 755+35=5×11+5×7

Using distributive property of multiplycation,

=5(11+7)=5(11+7)

The greatest common factor = 5

Hence, the greatest common factor of 55 and 35 is 5,(5(11+7))5,(5(11+7)) .
