intro:

Intro to factoring polynomials by taking out the GCF

Factoring a trinomial with numeric GCF only (no common variable)

Factoring a polynomial with a common binomial factor (x+2y)

To factor means to take out a common factor out from the expressions. In this lesson, we will try to do it by determining the greatest common factor among the terms of the expressions, and factor it out from each term.

Factoring by Taking Out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

What You'll Learn

Identify the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) in polynomials

Simplify algebraic expressions by factoring out the GCF

Understand the relationship between factors and factoring

Apply factoring techniques to solve complex equations

What You'll Practice
