Factoring and Distributive Property Review

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

What is GCF (Greatest Common Factor)?

Back

The GCF of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides all of them without leaving a remainder.

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 16 + 24

Back

8(2 + 3)

Front

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 24 + 30

Back

6(4 + 5)

Front

Factor the expression: 20y - 5

Back

5(4y - 1)

Front

What expression represents 6 groups of kids with 3 boys and 2 girls?

Back

6(3 + 2)

Front

Simplify: 2(c - 8)

Back

2c - 16

Front

What is the result of applying the Distributive Property to 3(4 + 5)?

Back

12 + 15 = 27

Front

If the GCF of 12 and 16 is 4, what is the factored form of 12 + 16?

Back

4(3 + 4) or 4(7) = 28

Front

What does it mean to factor an expression?

Back

Factoring an expression means to break it down into simpler components (factors) that, when multiplied together, give the original expression.
