Write the sum of \(32 + 20\) as the product of their GCF and another sum.

The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.
The common factors of 32 and 20 are 1, 2, and 4.
The greatest one is 4.
32 = 4 x 8
20 = 4 x 5
32 + 20 = (4 x 8) + (4 x 5)
32 + 20 = 4 (8 + 5)

The sum of 32 + 20 can be expressed as the product of their GCF, which is 4, and another sum, specifically 4(8 + 5). This is achieved by factoring out the GCF from both numbers. Thus the final expression is 4(8 + 5).
