HW - FACTORING (GCF & GROUPING)

Front

What is the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)?

Back

The GCF is the largest positive integer that divides all the given numbers without leaving a remainder.

Front

How do you find the GCF of two or more numbers?

Back

List the factors of each number and identify the largest factor that appears in all lists.

Front

Back

The GCF is 4.

Front

Factor the expression by GCF: 18x + 24.

Back

6(3x + 4).

Front

What is the first step in factoring by GCF?

Back

Front

What does it mean to factor an expression completely?

Back

To express the polynomial as a product of its factors, including all possible factors.

Front

Factor the expression: 8x^3 + 4x^2 - 12x.
