distributive property of 144 and 9 is 3(36 + 3) 3 * 36 = 144, and 3 * 3 = 9 At least I believe that is right. Not sure
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 is 18. The Distributive property states that 36 x (50 + 4) = (36 x 50) + (36 x 4)
Since 18 is a factor of 36, it is automatically the GCF of this problem.
(9 x 1) + (9 x 4) = 9 x 5 = 45
(3 x 12) + (4 x 12) = 7 x 12 = 84
4(5 + 9)
