Answer:
8(2bc + am)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor out common factors from both terms. Note that each variable (the letters) are different, but that the numbers have factors.
Factors of:
16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Note that the greatest factor is 8 in both numbers. Divide 8 from both terms
(16bc + 8am)/8 = 2bc + am
Add the factor to the front and parenthesis the leftover factors.
8(2bc + am) is your new answer.
