Question

factor the GCF from 16p^4+4p^3

Answer 1

Given the expression:

$16p^4+4p^3$

The GCF of p^4 and p^3 = p^3

And the greatest common factor of 16 and 4 = 4

so,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{16p^4}{4p^3}=4p \\ \\ \frac{4p^3}{4p^3}=1 \end{gathered}$

So, the factors of the given expression will be:

$16p^4+4p^3=4p^3(4p+1)$
