  2. Whenever we are asked to factor the first thing that we should do is look for common factors. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is • The largest number that you can divide every term by with no remainder. • The smallest exponent of any variables common to all terms.

  3. The GCF is 9x Example #1: Factor each expression. a) b) c) The GCF is 6 The GCF is 5xy2

  4. Sometimes the ones that look tricky are the easiest! Example #2: Factor:

  5. Example #3: The area of a rectangular pool is represented by the expression . IF the length is 6x, find an expression for the width of the pool. Area = length x width = = ( ) The length of the pool is x+3 .
