We are asked to find the G.C.F. of 8x-6.
- G.C.F. stands for Greatest Common Factor.
So what is the G.C.F. of 8x-6? We can list all of their common factors and then select the greatest one, like so:
1, 2, 4, 8, x
-1, 1, 2, -3, 3, -6, 6
So the GCF is:
2
Now, we can also factor it out by placing it outside the parentheses ():
2(4x-3)
See, we factored it out by dividing both terms of the expression by the G.C.F.
Remember this...
Hope this helps you out! :D
