Question

How do you factor the expression `8+32a`?

Answer 1

`8(1+4a)`

Explanation:

The common factor of 32 and 8 is 8 so `(8+32a)=8(1+4a)`

Answer 2

8(1+4a)

Explanation:

The first thing that you need to do is to get the common factor between the two given values, which are 8 and 32. And their common factor is 8. So we need to extract 8 from the equation resulting to 8(1+4a).
