Open in App

Solution

Step 1: We have given expression is $(8 x + 2)$
firstly we will find the factors of $(8 x), (2)$
$8 x = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times x 2 = 2 \times 1$
We can see that G.C.F of $(8 x), (2)$ is $2$
Now we will Use the GCF to factor the expression
$8 x + 2 = 2 (4 x) + 2 (1) {R e w r i t e t h e e x p r e s si o n} = 2 (4 x + 1) {D i s t r i b u t i v e p r o p e r t y}$
Final Answer: $2 (4 x + 1)$
