8a+24 is the same as 8*a+8*3. If we factor out the 8 we get
8(a+3)

8a + 24 = 8 (a + 3)

8a + 24=8(a+3)

To factor that expression, you have to get the greatest common factor (i. e. the greatest number that can divide both and whose answer is a whole number and greater than 1) between them. In this case,
8a+24
8 is the greatest common factor here.
So set aside 8 and put inside parentheses, divide each term in the expression by the greatest common factor, thus:
8 (8a/8 + 24/8).
Simplifying, we get
= 8(a+3)

How old are you, anyway?
Factor out an 8. Gives 8(a+3). Too easy.

8 is the GCF of 8 and 24
ans. 8(a + 3)

8(a+3)
There is no work to show, just that you divide eight from the contents of the parenthesis.
