Factoring the GCF

Factor out the GCF: 7x² - 14x

• 7(x² - 2x)

• 7x²(x - 2)

• 7x(x - 2)

• 7x(x - 14)

Factor out the GCF:

5x²y² + 10xy

• 5xy(xy + 2)

• xy(5xy + 10)

• 5(x²y² + 2xy)

• 10xy(xy + 1)

Factor out the GCF:

a³ + a² + a

• a²(a + a + 1)

• a³(1 + a + a)

• a(a² + a + 1)

• a(a² + a)

Factor out the GCF:

6x + 3y

• 3(2 + 1)

• 6(x + 2y)

• 3xy(2 + 1)

• 3(2x + y)

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF

• List all the terms

• Make a triangle

• Write the answer

Factor by using GCF:

10x² + 15x - 5

• 25(10x³+45x-15)

• 5(2x³ + 3x²-x)

• x(10x³+15x-5)

• 5(2x²+3x-1)

Factor by GCF:
10x² + 15x - 5

• 25(10x³+45x-15)

• 5(2x³ + 3x²-x)

• x(10x³+15x-5)

• 5(2x²+3x-1)

Factor out the GCF:

8x - 16

• 8(x - 2)

• 8x(x - 2)

• 16(x - 1)

• 8x(1 - 2)
