What is the GCF of 84 and 56

The GCF is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the factors of both numbers

84 → 1,  2 ,  3 ,  4 ,  6 ,  7 ,  12 ,  14 ,  21 ,  28 ,  42 ,  84

56 → 1 ,  2 ,  4 ,  7 ,  8 ,  14 ,  28 ,  56

The factor that is the biggest common in both is the GCF.  We see that 28 is the biggest factor that matches for both numbers.

 The GCF is 28

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
