Given:

4x + 22

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor.

Solution:

In order to factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), we simply need to list first the factors of 4 and 22.

Factors of 4:

1, 2, and 4

Factors of 22:

1, 2, 11, 22

It can be seen that the greatest common factor is 2, therefore we  can factor out 2 from the equation.

= 4x + 22

= 2 (2x + 11)

Final answer:

= 2 (2x + 11)
