Use the distributive property to express 40+ 64

Use the distributive property to express 40+ 64

Distributive property is a(b+c)

We need to express 40+64 in a(b+c) form

First we write the numbers using greatest common factor

40  and 64 are divisible by 2 or 4 or 8

Greatest common factor is 8

40 can be written as 8* 5

64 can be written as 8*8

40+ 64 = (8*5) + (8 * 8)

Now we take out 8 that is in common

(8*5) + (8 * 8) = 8 (5 + 8)

8 (5 + 8) is the distributive property to express 40+ 64
