(A) $$(2^2)(3^3)[(2)(3)(7) + (3^2)(5) + (2^2)(11)]$$

(B) $$(2^2)(3^4)[7 + (3)(5) + 11]$$

(C) $$(2)(3)[7 + 5 + 11]$$

(D) $$(2)(3^3)[(2)(3)(7) + (3^2)(5) + (2^2)(11)]$$

(E) $$(2)(3^4)[7 + (2)(3)(5) + 11]$$

$$(2^3)(3^4)(7) + (2^2)(3^5)(5) + (2^4)(3^3)(11)$$ ..... if we take out the common term $$(2^2)(3^3)$$ from each expression we get A: $$(2^2)(3^3)[(2)(3)(7) + (3^2)(5) + (2^2)(11)]$$ ..... Ans A

(E) $$(2)(3^4)[7 + (2)(3)(5) + 11]$$

The factors that are common to all three terms are 2^2 and 3^3. Factoring them out, we have:

(2^2)(3^3)[2 x 3 x 7 + 3^2 x 5 + 2^2 x 11]
