3a2 - 24ab + 48b2 = 3(a - 4b)2.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x a x b x b = 24ab^2
a proper factor is a factor.
a factor bug is a factor
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
3a2 - 24ab + 48b2 = 3(a - 4b)2.
I need to; factor each expression 10x + 40 = ?
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x a x b
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x A x B = 24AB
If that's 24a, 24ab and 54a, the GCF is 6a. If that's 24a2, 4ab and 54a, the GCF is 2a.
24ab
GCF(6a2bx, 15ab2x-24ab) = GCF[6a2bx, 3ab(5bx-8)] = 3ab
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x a x b x b = 24ab^2
24ab - 42ax - 20b + 35x = 6a(4b - 7x) - 5(4b - 7x) = (4b - 7x)(6a - 5)
The prime factors of 24 are 2, 2, 2, and 3.We do not know the prime factors of a and b, so we cannot factor them further.Therefore, we can factor 24 to 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x a x b
6a^b-18ab^2+24ab
a proper factor is a factor.
