Answer:
8 (y²-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find GCF of the terms 8y² and -16.
The coefficient/constant of 8 and 16 has GCF = 8.
The variable and exponents are not common with each other so we will not mind those.
So the GCF is 8
2. Divide the terms with the GCF.
Follow the formula [tex]Terms/GCF[/tex] (Terms divided by GCF).
Terms/GCF = 8y²/8 and -16/8
The quotient is y² and -2
Complete the quotient: y²-2
3. Form the new factored form.
The factored form is GCF(Quotient)
So the final answer is 8 (y²-2)
