Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number. when you find the factors of two or more numbers, and then find some of the numbers (factors) are the same (common) you have common factors.

example: 12 and 36

12: 1x12, 2x6, 3x4
36: 1x36, 2x18, 3x12, 4x9, 6x6

the common factors in these numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12

hope this helped you out!

$2x^{2}$ is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication) and since it is in the degree of 2, that makes it a quadratic.

-2 is a constant (since it doesn't have variables) and it is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication)

3x-9 is a binomial (since it has two terms, not connected by multiplication) and since it has x in the power of 1, that makes it a linear equation.

Finally, $-3x^{2}$ -6x + 9 is a trinomial (since it has 3 terms connected by either addition or subtraction) and since the degree of the polynomial is 2, that makes it a quadratic.
