Answer:
[tex]4(9a+4b)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the expression [tex]36a+16b[/tex]. factor using the GCF
Write the factor for each term
[tex]36a= 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot a[/tex]
[tex]16b= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot b[/tex]
GCF is the greatest common factor
GCF is 2 times 2 = 4
When we factor out 4 we divide each term by 4
[tex]36a+16b[/tex]
[tex]4(9a+4b)[/tex]
