Julio wants to rewrite 48 + 18 using the greatest common factor and the distributive property. Which expression should he write?

6 (8 + 18)

6 (8 + 3)

3 (16 + 6)

6 (48) + 6 (18)

6 (8 + 3) Because the greatest common factor of both numbers is 6. Then you divide both numbers by the GCF and get the numbers on the inside 8 and 3.

6 (8 + 3) because the greatest common factor between 18 and 48 is 6. One way to find a greatest common factor is listing numbers that your original number can be divided by.
