Q. Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial. 6a2+8
Determine GCF: Now that we have determined the GCF is 2, we can factor it out from each term in the polynomial.6a2 can be written as 2×3a2, and 8 can be written as 2×4. Factoring out the GCF of 2, we get:6a2+8=2(3a2)+2(4)=2(3a2+4)
