Front

What does GCF stand for in the context of polynomials?

Back

GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor, which is the largest factor that divides two or more numbers or expressions.

Front

How do you find the GCF of two monomials?

Back

To find the GCF of two monomials, identify the common variables and their lowest powers, and multiply them together.

Front

What is the GCF of 12 and 18?

Back

The GCF of 12 and 18 is 6.

Front

What is the first step in factoring a polynomial using GCF?

Back

The first step is to identify the GCF of all the terms in the polynomial.
