Question

Factor out the greatest common factor.

Answer 1

Given expression is

$-14p^3+10p^2+4p$

when we break the individual terms using prime factors

$-14p^3= -2*7*p*p*p\\10p^2=2*5*p*p\\4p=2*2*p$

so the common factors we can see is 2*p

so The greatest common factor is 2p

So when we Factor out Greatest common factor we get

$2p(-7p^2+5p+2)$
