Start by finding the GCF of 8 and 56

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\(8(n^2 - 7n)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

common factoring

pooja195 (pooja195):

Nope we know that 8n^2 means 8 ^nn 56 also had an n So your gcf is indeed 8 but we can also say 8n because both of the numbers have n's Can you divide both by 8n and tell me what u get? :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Confused?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Oh yes. 8n(n - 7)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good job :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

You also know its correct because when you distribute the 8n you end up with the same thing u started with =)
