What is the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)?

Back

The GCF is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common. It is used to simplify fractions and factor polynomials.

How do you factor a polynomial by taking out the GCF?

Back

To factor a polynomial by GCF, identify the largest factor common to all terms, then divide each term by this factor and express the polynomial as the product of the GCF and the resulting polynomial.
