8y-36 factor the expression completely

factored form of 8y - 36 is 4 (2y - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 8y-36

We have to factorize the expression completely.

Factorization is the process of writing an expression in simplest form in forms of factors such that the product gives the original expression.

Consider the given expression 8y - 36

Since, 8 can be written as  4 × 2

and  36 can be written as  4 × 9

Thus, 8y - 36 can be written as (4 × 2)y - (4 × 9)

Taking 4 common from both terms, we get,

(4 × 2)y - (4 × 9) = 4 (2y - 9)

Thus, factored form of 8y - 36 is 4 (2y - 9)
