Greatest Common Factor and Factoring GCF

The GCF is the largest positive integer that divides each of the given integers without leaving a remainder.

To find the GCF, list the factors of each number and identify the largest factor that appears in both lists.

A factor is a number that divides another number evenly, without leaving a remainder.

The GCF of 12 and 27 is 3.

x(x - 5) is the factored form.

w(w^2 + 3) is the factored form.

The GCF is 10a^2b^2.

2n^2(1 - 4n) is the factored form.

Factoring an expression means to break it down into simpler components (factors) that, when multiplied together, give the original expression.

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term.
