Factor the expression using the GCF.
$14 p - 28$

Open in App

Solution

We have given expression is ( $14 p - 28$ )
firstly we will find the factors of $(14 p), (28)$
$14 p = 7 \times 2 \times p 28 = 7 \times 2 \times 2$
We can see that G.C.F of $(14 p), (28)$ is $7 \times 2 = 14$
Now we will use the GCF to factor the expression
$14 p - 28 = 14 (p) - 14 (2) {R e w r i t e t h e e x p r e s s i o n} = 14 (p - 2) {D i s t r i b u t i o n p r o p e r t y}$
Final Answer: $14 (p - 2)$
