Question

Using the distributive property, the sum of 44 + 12 can be expressed as
4(11 + 3).

Which math word identifies the number 4 in the rewritten expression?
A) Addend
B) Common Difference
C) Least Common Multiple
D) Greatest Common Factor

Answer 1

Answer:

Greatest common factor or Highest common factor

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest common factor also called as Highest common factor of two numbers is the common factor that both the numbers can share in common.

In case of 44 and 12 the highest common factor that both the numbers share is 4.

To find the greatest common factor we need to write the numbers in terms of their multiples and then pick up the highest factor common to both.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) Greatest Common Factor

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distributive property, the sum of 44 + 12 can be expressed as  

4(11 + 3).  

Which math word identifies the number 4 in the rewritten expression?  

A) Addend  

B) Common Difference  

C) Least Common Multiple  

D) Greatest Common Factor

Greatest common Factor is the right answer

called as HCF - Highest Common Factor

option D is correct

44 =  2 * 2 * 11

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

common factors = 2 , 2

Greatest Common Factor = HCF = 2 * 2 = 4
