To factor the expression 24AB, we need to identify the common factors of 24 and AB. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. Since AB has no common factors other than 1, the factors of 24AB are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, A, B, 2A, 3A, 4A, 6A, 8A, 12A, 24A, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 6B, 8B, 12B, and 24B.

Well, honey, to find the value of an expression in lowest terms, you need to simplify it by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. It's like decluttering your closet - get rid of the unnecessary baggage! Once you've simplified the expression as much as possible, you've got yourself the value in lowest terms. Now go forth and conquer those fractions, darling!
It is x^2 -4 = (x-2)(x+2) when factored and it is the difference of two squares
Factor each of the denominators. Make up an expression that includes all of the factors in the denominators. Example (using "^" for powers):If you have denominators (x^2 - 1), (x-1)^2 and (x+1), factor the first expression, to get denominators: (x+1)(x-1), (x-1)^2 and (x+1). Taking each factor that appears at least once, you get the common denominator: (x+1)(x-1)^2. Note: If a factor, as in this case x-1, appears more than once in one of the expressions, you need to use the highest power.
