Question

Factor the following using the GCF (Greatest Common Factor):

Answer 1

Answer:

Part (A) Factored using GCF is: 2(x² + 2) → (GCF is 2)

Part (B) Factored using GCF is: 2x³(3x-1) → (GCF is 2x³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest Common Factor or GCF, is whichever value that fits into both terms. For example if you have 2, 4, and 6, 2 is the biggest value that fits into all 4 terms.

To factor using GCF, simply find the GCF of both terms, and take it out, then multiply what you have remaining by whatever the GCF is.
