Q. Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial.3k2+6k
Factor out GCF: Now, we factor out the GCF from each term. The GCF we found is 3k.3k2 can be written as 3k×k.6k can be written as 3k×2.So, we factor out the GCF (3k) from each term.
Write in factored form: After factoring out the GCF, we have: 3k2+6k=3k(k+2).This is the factored form of the polynomial with the GCF factored out.
