The factored expression is:
------------------------
To factor the expression:
- First, we need to find the greatest common factor of the numeric and symbolic coefficients.
- Then, we divide each term of the expression by it's gcf.
------------------------
The expression is:
------------------------
The numeric coefficients are: 3, 12, 9, 36
The gcf of the numeric coefficients is:
3 - 12 - 9 - 36|3
1 - 4 - 3 - 12
The gcf of the numeric coefficients is 3, as 3 is the only number by which 3, 12, 9 and 36 are all divisible.
------------------------
The symbolic coefficients are:
The only common term is y, so y is the gcf of the symbolic coefficients.
------------------------
The gcf of the entire expression is the multiplication of the gcfs of the numeric and of the symbolic coefficients, so it is 3y.
Now, to factore the expression:
The factored expression is:
