-4y+28=0
-4y=-28 divide both sides by -4

Answer 5

The greatest common factor of -4y+28 is 4
this is the biggest number (greatest number) that divides both (common to both) terms
-4y/4 = -y (divides evenly)
28/4= 7 (divides evenly)

notice that -4y/-32y = 1/8 (not a whole number)
and 28/(-32y)= -7/(8y) not even close to a whole number.
