Find the common factor of \( \Large x^{2}-16, x^{2}-8x+16 \)

A) \( \Large \left(x+4\right) \)
B) \( \Large \left(x-4\right) \)
C) \( \Large x^{2}-16 \)
D) None of these

Correct Answer:


B) \( \Large \left(x-4\right) \)

Description for Correct answer:
\( \Large x^{2} - 16 = \left(x+4\right) \left(x-4\right) \)

\( \Large x^{2}-8x+16 = \left(x-4\right)^{2} \)

Common factor is \( \Large \left(x-4\right) \)
