Factor the expression using the GCF.
$3 y - 24$

Open in App

Solution

We have given expression is $3 y - 24$
Firstly we will find the factors of $(3 y), (24)$
$3 y = 3 \times y 24 = 8 \times 3$
We can see that G.C.F of $(3 y), (24)$ is $3$
now we will use the GCF to factor the expression
$3 y - 24 = 3 (y) - 3 (8) {R e w r i t e t h e e x p r e s s i o n} = 3 (y - 8) {D i s t r i b u t i v e p r o p e r t y}$
Final Answer: $3 (y - 8)$
