Factor the expression using the GCF (18 + 24)

To factor the expression 18+24 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first find the GCF of 18 and 24.

1. Find the factors of 18:
   18=2×3^2
2. Find the factors of 24:
   24=2×2^3
3. The common factors of 18 and 24 are 2×3= 6. So, the GCF is 6.

Now, factor the GCF out of the expression:

18+24=6(3+4)

So, the factored form of 18+24 is:

6(3+4)
