How to Find a GCF in a Polynomial
Break down every term into prime factors. (Expand it)
Look for factors that appear in every single term to determine the GCF.
Factor the GCF out from every term in front of parentheses and group the leftovers inside the parentheses
Multiply each term to simplify.
3
Multiple Choice
Factor completely:
16x2 - 20xy
(Use your calculator to find the GCF)
Ex: Press MATH, Right Arrow ->, #9
gcd(16, 20)
4
The Box Method
Label your trinomial as M.A.M
Multiply both M-terms
Find two factors that give you 'M' when you multiply and 'A' when you add.
Write each term in the box with their variable
Find the GCF "going down" and "across"
Write the outside terms in factored form
