Q. Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.\newline24a18b=24a-18b = \Box
  1. Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerical coefficients 2424 and 1818. The factors of 2424 are 11, 22, 33, 44, 66, 88, 1212, 2424. The factors of 1818 are 11, 22, 33, 66, 181866, 1818. The greatest common factor of 2424 and 1818 is 66.
  2. Find Factors: Apply the distributive property to factor out the GCF from the expression 24a18b24a - 18b. We can write the expression as 6(4a)6(3b)6(4a) - 6(3b).
  3. Apply Distributive Property: Simplify the factored expression.\newlineThe expression becomes 6(4a3b)6(4a - 3b).
