Question

Which expression shows 27 + 36 as the product of their greatest common factor and the sum of two whole numbers with no common factor?

Answer 1

We can rewrite the expression 16 + 8 as 8x(2+1). Notice that 8 is the greatest common factor of 16 and 8. Use this same method to rewrite the expression 24 + 36 as the product of the greatest common factor of 24 and 36 and the sum of the remaining numbers.  

answer :3+2=5x12=60
