Answer:

4(4x + 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:  16x + 12y

Factors of 16:  1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Factors of 12:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Therefore, the greatest common factor of 16 and 12 is 4.

As the expression has two variables, the variables cannot be factored.

Therefore, factored expression:  4(4x + 3y)

16x+12y

Factor each

  • 16x=4×4x
  • 12y=4×3y

Take 4 common as GCF

  • 16x+12y
  • 4(4x+3y)
