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.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x a x b
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x A x B = 24AB
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.
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.
