3.3continuedFactoring Expressions with Common Factors
Factor: What is the greatest common factor? GCF Remaining factors Check by distributing FACTORED FORM
Factor: What is the greatest common factor? What is the GCF for the coefficients? What is the GCF for the variables?
Factor: Whenever you have a NEGATIVE first term, remove a negative factor!
Factor: 25a2b3c + 15abc2 + 20a2b2c2 - 30ab2c • Step 1: Identify the GREATEST COMMON FACTOR. • Step 2: Divide each term in the polynomial by the GCF. • Step 3: Write the polynomial as a product of the GCF what’s left over. 25a2b3c + 15abc2 + 20a2b2c2 - 30ab2c 5abc 5abc 5abc 5abc 5abc (5ab2 + 3c + 4abc - 6b)
