Some people use the distributive property to add 24 and 36, but you wouldn't use it to find the GCF which, by the way, is 12.
The GCF of 24 and 64 is 8. You use the distributive property to show another way to write the sum. 8(3 + 8)
6(5 + 11)
-4.2x - 6y + 3.6
It's not necessary. Since 12 is a factor of 72, it is automatically the GCF.
