Factoring 4 Term Polynomials Using Gcf

• Yes, because the teacher is always right!

• No, because 9 doesn't divide into 18 and 36. There are too many variables.

Factor 20x + 40xy + 60y

• 10(2x + 4xy + 6y)

• xy(20x + 40xy + 60y)

• 40(x + xy + 20y)

• 20(x + 2xy + 3y)

• Use the Distributive Property

• Identify the GCF

• Write each term of the expression using the GCF as a factor
