Q 1 - Factor out the gcf from the sum of whole numbers (39 + 65)
Answer : A
Explanation
Step 1:
39 = 3 × 13
65 = 5 × 13.
Their gcf = 13.
Step 2:
Factoring out the gcf from (39 + 65)
(39 + 65) = (3 × 13 + 5 × 13) = 13(3 + 5)
Q 2 - Factor out 7 from the sum of whole numbers (147 + 84)
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
147 = 7 × 21
84 = 7 × 12
Step 2:
Factoring out 7 from (147 + 84)
(147 + 84) = (7 × 21 + 7 × 12) = 7(21 + 12)
Q 3 - Factor out g. c. f from the difference of whole numbers (144 − 96)
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
144 = 3 × 3 × 16 = 3 × 48
96 = 2 × 3 × 16 = 2 × 48
Their gcf = 48
Step 2:
Factoring out the gcf from (144 − 96)
(144 − 96) = (3 × 48 − 2 × 48) = 48(3 − 2)
Q 4 - Factor out 6 from the sum of whole numbers (96 + 78)
Answer : D
Explanation
Step 1:
96 = 6 × 16
78 = 6 × 13
Step 2:
Factoring out 6 from (96 + 78)
(96 + 78) = (6 × 16 + 6 × 13) = 6(16 + 13)
Q 5 - Factor out the gcf from the sum of whole numbers (36 + 96)
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
36 = 3 × 12
96 = 8 × 12
Their gcf = 12
Step 2:
Factoring out the gcf from (36 + 96)
(36 + 96) = (3 × 12 + 8 × 12) = 12(3 + 8)
Q 6 - Factor out g. c. f from the difference of whole numbers (153 − 102)
Answer : A
Explanation
Step 1:
153 = 3 × 3 × 17
102 = 2 × 3 × 17
Their gcf = 51
Step 2:
Factoring out the gcf from (153 − 102)
(153 − 102) = (3 × 51 − 2 × 51) = 51(3 − 2)
Q 7 - Factor out 6 from the sum of whole numbers (126 + 168)
Answer : D
Explanation
Step 1:
126 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 = 6 × 21
168 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 6 × 28
Step 2:
Factoring out 6 from (126 + 168)
(126 + 168) = (6 × 21 + 6 × 28) = 6(21 + 28)
Q 8 - Factor out 11 from the difference of whole numbers (143 − 121)
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
121 = 11 × 11
143 = 11 × 13
Step 2:
Factoring out 11 from (143 − 121)
(143 − 121) = (11 × 13 − 11 × 11) = 11(13 − 11)
Q 9 - Factor out g. c. f from the difference of whole numbers (153 − 136)
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
153 = 9 × 17
136 = 8 × 17
Their gcf = 17
Step 2:
Factoring out gcf from (153 − 136)
(153 − 136) = ( 9 × 17 − 8 × 17) = 17(9 − 8)
Q 10 - Factor out 12 from the sum of whole numbers (156 + 180)
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
156 = 12 × 13
180 = 12 × 15
Step 2:
Factoring out 12 from (156 + 180)
(156 + 180) = (12 × 13 + 12 × 15) = 12(13 + 15)
