Factoring out a GCF and Factoring by Grouping Factoring – Day 1

Greatest Common Factor The GCF for a polynomial is the largest monomial that divides (is a factor of) each term of the polynomial.

Factoring out the GCF

Factoring a Polynomial by Grouping In some cases there is not a GCF for ALL terms in a polynomial. If you have 4 terms with no GCF, then try factoring by grouping.

Factoring a Polynomial by Grouping

You Try! These two terms must be the same.

Try These: Factor by grouping.
