Answer:
To find the GCF, do the prime factorization of both numbers.
42 = 2 x 3 x 7
28 = 2 x 2 x 7
The GCF uses the numbers that appear in BOTH, 2 x 7 = 14 is the GCF of the numbers. There is no variable GCF because there isn't a variable that appears in both.
Taking out the GCF gives you:
14(3x + 2y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14(3x + 2y)
Find the GCF.
It is 14.
Use the distributive property.
Then, multiply each term.
